Arrow CLK @ Sunset.. (Pics)

So i finally was able to get my wheels put back on after a year. I had them straightened out.. but still vibration in the steering wheel... bummer.. i guess u cant expect them to be perfect after they are bent once. But do you sacrifice ride comfort for looks? Or do i put the stock ones back on and have a nice smooth ride? and sacrifice looks... what you guys think? check out the pics. cool sunset tonight.

Looking real nice, but a shaky steering wheel is never any good.

Sounds like its time for a new set of wheels and tires!

Look out on riding on bent rims you could prematurely wear out bearings and bushing. On my 190e my rear rim was slightly bent i couldn't feel it or notice. My rear arms had to be replace from the excess vibration (pricey).

Thanks for the heads up! They dont start to shake until about 60mph.. so Im just crusing real slow for now until i can figure somethin out.. I love the way the car sits. but its probly not worth it to sacrifice safety and put other parts of the car in jeopardy of failure!! So does anyone know anyone selling some 18's for a good deal? haha

I do have spacers on the rear... they are 1/4 inch. helped a lot from what they were. poor offset on wheels.. i want to say they are +37 or maybe even 40!!! Any more tho and i would have to roll my fenders. not that its a big deal.. the vibration is killin me tho. im going to have the rear rims put on the front and the fronts on rear and see if it helps. Im running a staggered setup 225/40/18 front..245/14/18 rear. And as far as h6w's go! i want to order those and the interior bulbs.. any suggestions? autolumination? does anyone know what the interior bulbs are? 39mm..44mm I know they are bigger than the license plate bulbs...I actually want your wheels Big Mike... Im looking for a good deal. Or the 09 amg E class wheels. i loveee those! We will see! With 215k on my baby! Im not tryin to spend too much more on any cosmetic things.

Did u say 245/14/18??? lol
I rolled my fender for 60 each side( driver side only). Passenger side was fine.
yes i got mine from autolumination and im think they were 39mm if im not mistaken... i will include couple pics as well. i even did my glove dept.
thanks bro, i love my rims as well, i got em dipped 5 times and they look heavy in person comparing to other chrome.
