Yeah, here is the Alpine 7995. I removed the whole glove box and fabricated a panel to cover it. It is playing thru the AUX port of the Command unit. I'm still looking for some vinyl that which match the dash better.

nice job though... the 7995 is a kick *** unit... what are you using to power it? the stock amp?

I'm just using the stock amp right now. Sound decent enough for me right now. It actually look a lot better in person than what the picture shows. And with the matching vinyl it should look very clean. The glove box was too small for it to fit inside and also the display would be hidden and the remote wouldn't work if I install it inside the glove box.

Seem like everyone is favoring the Carlsson 2/5. I like the Carlsson 2/5 but the only little thing I don't like about it is that the spoke is to curvy especially at the tip where it is attach to the rim. That why I was looking at the Italia Riva, almost the same design but the spokes are more flat. But it is not available in staggered configuration. I'm suprise people don't like the AMG.

If you like that Carlson look, here's one to to complicate your choices even more. I just put these onto my car just two days ago. Wheels/tires finally came in. Similar look, but just a bit different.
I also looked at the Kleemann's which are similar in design as well but much heavier (similar to AMG weight).

Yep, Kevin identified them properly. I just got them from Peter, who I must give props for (handling my impatience and questions). They just took awhile to get in. Here is a close up of the front tire (rear has a deeper dish look).

Nope, really dislike that really lowered look. It's already an inch or two lower than a stock CLK320/430 as it's a 55, but the most I'd go is with the Kleemann suspension. That might lower it another 0.5" to 0.75" at most. THats more than enough. I like my ride, but its going to stay functional and sporty for me and my wife.
