I am not a big aftermarket wheel fan, but I have to say those look very good.

The rims are alright.
But my honest opinion is that the stock AMG wheels look classier and more sporty.
Yours look too "flossy".
These wheels below look much nicer:

No they are not HRE, they are custom rims from Lucent. They will make them exactlyto your spec. So i told them to make it exactly like hre haha. Its cheaper and from my experience they are all rims anyway. The centre cap are HRE from my s class. Currently being repaired after an accident involving drunk driving( trying to forget). I will definitely post more pics after I my other mods arrived. Waiting for cf diffuser, Brabus boot lid and getting it lowered a bit more. Thanks for your comments. I ll post more pics of the s class after the rims arrived. its HRE 943. Btw do you guys really think the rims looked flossy ??? I was gonna get it black at first but decided to go against it.

I'm just the more conservative non-modding type and have never been a fan of anything chrome.
I'm not really into doing non-OEM parts so that's why. (Brabus wheels + Mercs being an exception)
I think non-OEM modding tends to look more 'boy-racer' but then again, that's my opinion.
Don't mind me though.
I have respect for those that go the distance and try something new. It's your car, do what feels right.

Wheels on the CL look clean and not too flossy. But I agree with Woodhill that you can't go wrong with AMG wheels or Brabus wheels and Benz.

I swear mercedes benz styling is going nicer and nicer every new generation.
Bmw seems like its going down the drain.
I can say the M series are awesome cars but really though the looks kinds of turn me off.
My friend has an M6 and he traded in for a CL63. He says the new CL looks hot. And another one traded his bentley for a CL too.
Anyways nice cars enjoy them drive them with care.

True. One opinion on this board.

I'd prefer the stock AMG wheels. They look agressive and classy. Also, they seem to match (in shape and size) and flow well with the chrome trims on CL.

I agree with your comment on the wheels but the first thing I would have done had I decided on a CL63 instead of the M5 is remove the old man chrome that adorns the window line and lower grille.

I was asking myself that same question and came to the conclusion that the S must have the 4Matic for the less than optimal driving conditions. And great stable, looks fantastic!
