Working on it. My factory grill was messed up and I'm not spending $500 for a new OES one.

crap?!?! hummm what more work would you need to do to the quarters to get a better alignment? can't decide if 10 or 10.5 would be better. I like your old wheels and they where 10s these look just a tad better thro

Quite a bit. My rear sticks out another 2mm more than my old setup but now I have more camber.

I was never a fan of those wheels but they look very nice on your ride

I have to agree on the grill though, there is another version of that single fin grill where the fins are more straight so they are centered within the frame and it looks much better

Looking Awesome! I love those wheels! I think it's a perfect reflection of the cars curves. Very nice look

I have the same camber issue, not sure if Kmac or MBArts are the way to go?

I need the camber for the fitment, though. I don't mind it. I drive the car 100 miles a month or so.

yeah I take her out once a week now for a little drive on PCH.

The PSS are great. Worth the extra dough if you're willing to spend it!

Has anyone ever done a 20x9 and 21x10 setup on thee CL55?

I think 20"s are perfect in the front but they always seem a tad too small in the rear
