CL55 with wrong wheels
I was at the Mercedes dealer today and they have a 03 CL55 in the showroom. The car had "AMG Twin Spoke Wheels" listed on the window sticker and the car was sitting on AMG 5 Spokes like the one on the 02 CL55.
The tire was also the Bridgestone Potenza RE050. Don't know much about this tire but it looks cheesy. The sizes were 245/45/18 and 265/40/18.
Bridgestone says that the new RE050 Scuderia was designed for the Enzo Ferrari and have a speed rating up to 218 mph. There is also a Run-Flat version as OEM for the BMW Z4.

Did you see the silver car at ASC in VA?
It is beautiful! Seems all of the CL55 s have these wheels so far this year. They do look great, but I think that the twin spoke wheels seen in the photos are better. I have 1 on order for first qtr. 2003, I hope by then they will have the twin spokes!

This may be why the Split Spoke 18" wheels aren't being used yet in many cases:
