HRE makes some really nice wheels. The ones your looking at are nice and you can't beat the price.

No I dont want to lower the car... cause I dont want to replace tires every six month like most car owner's have to deal with when they lower there cars !! Just ask williams !!Plus really its just a inch (19')smaller compare to what size (20')I was rolling on it before ! Plus now my car will look more aggressive with the staggered (19x8.5 ,19x9.5 )set up compare to my 20x 8.5 front and back !!

Ghostrider's camber kit will fix that tire wear problem. I have been using it for a while and haven't had any problems. I like your choice in wheels, the chromies weren't cutting it IMO. The V12s are great, I had them on all summer.



OT: Any pics of your GSR? I had an SI hatch with a GSR motor back in the day.

99CLK320,
the only clk I have seen that looks decent with 20s is Williams007. If you don't lower the car somewhat it ends up looking like a ghetto Impala w/22s IMHO. We have different tastes.

I had 20'' inch wheels and I love it plus I use to get great compliments all the time .....we are all entitled to our own opinion it all good . The reason I just replace the chrome rims is cause its a pain to clean all those spokes on my old chrome rims !! Plus now I am getting 19' inch not 22'' like you mention or joking around ! I am positive I will like how these new roderick staggered wheels without lowering it on my clk ! My friend has the similer wheels and same size on his clk and it looks awesome stock height !!!
