definately agree. it looked raw with the black rims u had on before. still looks good,but not as good

I got sick of the other look. Everywhere you look someones got the black wheels and chrome lip....I'm just over it. I think the look is still nice but not for me anymore.

the car just looks less trendy now and more sporty...it's sitting even lower now and looks crazy...not very practical tho.

I wanted to go with that classic sporty look because the look I had before will come and go but this one will stand the test of time with these wheels...or like I've alwas said...I change my mind all the time and I may just end up buying another set of wheels and changing the look of my car...that just what I do...and the circle continues when what I really want is to upgrade and buy a Porsche but buying a home is the way to go and spending a little money here and there to make me happy with what I've got is what's smart right now.

forgot to ask, are those authentic or the reps that are floating around?

CLK FAN

Read the signature I had my hands on a set of authentics used but the barrels had webs all over that looked like fine cracks. So I decided to go with the reps because I go through wheels like twice a year. I'm not buying authentic anything until I but a new car again.

How does the ride feel while having no pads? Do you have no pads on the rear also or just the front?

CLK FAN

I have no pads all around...feels fine. There is nothing wrong with doing it...don't let anyone tell you different.

Whoever you have do the job you have to make sure that they position the spring perfect so your spring settles in the correct spot and doesn't move or shift when the car is brought down from the lift.

But I remember you telling me that you had some rubbing issues. If you are going to slamm your car and feel confident about not rubbing you'll need to buy some 245/30/19's from Yokohama or your going to have to stretch a 235/35/19 on your rear wheels. It looks nice and you'll feel confident every time you hit a big dip on the freeway.

Sounds good. Thanks. Will toyo t1rs or falken452s work also if I go 245/30/19?

CLK FAN

I'm sure they will...I just didn't know they made that size also. You just need a brand that does not have a boxy or bulky side wall. The 255/30/19 won't be enough either so don't let anyone convince otherwise.

You even be happy that you don't rub and just might want to add a spacer for that real aggressive look because of the added clearance.

Cool. Thanks bro. Have any good recommendations on some tire spots? I dont have my tire connection anymore.

CLK FAN

Depends on where you live.

There's one out here in Glendale called Rego Sport Tunning 818-547-3337. They're cheap.

And in Rosemead Zoom Tires (626) 582-8075
