Hey James how wide are those lips on your wheels. Maybe you can fit a 20*10.5 or 20*10.0 with a 4" lip

The rear lips on my 540R's are 3". Already talked to Peter about getting a 4" in there but there's just no way. Since i also have upgraded RennTech rear brake kit if i go with the 4" think it'll hit the caliper. As far as 20x10.5 or 20x10 not going to fit. I recently dropped the pad to 1 dot for the rear and the finger gap measures 1 finger for the front and rear. EVen though i would love to there's just not way i can fit them.

Hey Bruce.. nice~~ ride~~~~~ I love them~
Hey.. how much are you willing to sell your Brabus V multipiece rims?
I heard from Ta in F-1 motorsports.. and he told me that you got them from him. He said that you paid less than $3000 with tires.
Are you planning to sell those rims higher than you have paid for? I was just curious.

So James even if we could not fit a 4" back there with your big brake kit, I am pretty sure we could fit 3.5" . PM me with some pictures of your rear brake calipers. Currrently James what is the distance between your rear spoke and the caliper in the rear. If you have more than .60" then I can start offering the E55 with 4" lips in the rear, and 3.5" if they have your rear brake system.

Wow! I also agree those are some of the best looking wheels I've seen on a CLK. I'm looking for new rims this spring in 18" and I really like that look!
Very nice looking auto Bruce!
Aren't the HRE's less expensive than the IF's?

Yes, you're right, even more than 20% less than HRE! Do you foresee new designs coming in the near future? I'm sure you are always in development but am wondering if there is anything new about to arrive!
Thanks!

Dude I don't think I'm ganna slamm it, cuz my friend just heated his springs on his 740 and it rides like there's no shock, I drive my car everyday and it's the only car I have, so I think it'll bug me if my car is too stiff. Nice sig fig btw P.S. tango: I'm getting black mesh, I didn't like the sivler one that much so I took it off when I got my car repainted last month.
