Very nice.........what happen to your horizontal piece spoiler between the fog lights?

If your interest, I made an upgrade perforated gille to replace that. It looks much better than the original. let me know...

Thanks Guys, I'm glad you guys like these wheels, I LOVE them!!! Just looks so right riding on AMG...

Now to answer some questions:

I lowered it with H&R CupKit.

I did not lose the front spopiler, but since I was not use to my car being so low... I crackerd my bumper, so it fell off... And 2 of the mounting points were cracked, I tried using zip tie, but it just did not look right, so I just took it off... Still waiting for my bodykit.

And finally, these ARE the 2pcs AMG rims. The 220 to be exact.
19x8.5 front, 19x9.5 back. 235/265. No rubbing.

Oh ya, the exhaust is actually a HKS Klass exhaust, originaly from my M3. It was setting in my garage and when I was cleaning the garage out I decided to put it on, I mean what the heck, it was just setting there...

So I "made" it fit... It sounds really good actually, and no one has a HKS exhaust on a Mercedes....

Thumbs up Looks Hot

Congrats on the 19" AMGs. I love that 2-piece design with the bolts. Very original and appropriate at the same time!

I always wondered what an HKS Klasse exhaust would look like on a CLK 430. Very clean!

Thanks JamE55, I've recieved an about even feelings of love it/hate it feedback from the HKS Exhaust.

Most people like the way it looks, but after finding out it is an HKS exhaust, they hate it... and start calling me a poser...ricer...whatever... you know the usual stuff....

No hate herr! Let's just say your setup is unique!

Looks great! You have my old wheels! I switched the the one piece, but looking at your car is making me miss my old wheels.. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... Your rims looks huge for some reason, like 20's. Looks great, now get rid of the orange reflector and we'll be set!

nice wheels... you don't see many people with those in 19s... where did you get them?

the best touch would have to be the USC frame... LOVE IT... FIGHT ON!!!

Nice, love the wheels. Ive always loved multi piece rims although they usually look smaller than a similarly styled single piece rim. But they just look so much classier and more expesive.(since they really are more expensive)

HKS Klasse exhausts are really made for European cars, I have seen a couple of Benzes with those.

Yeahh.... makes me miss my old set-up. Shoot!!! I knew I was going to miss them. Great Choice for the wheels though.....
You could never go wrong with AMG wheels. Just lower the car a little bit and you'll be set.

Really? I know the Klasse is for European cars, but they are only made for BMW and Audis'.... Also I believe they don't even have the Klasse Line anymore, I could not find it on their website.

Danny, I got the wheels from Tirerack, and yup, by far the best mod on my 430 is the USC Alum frame!!!!! GO TROJANS!!!!

Viktorious, I am waiting for my new bodykit, so I won't bother with the reflectors... But it is really getting on my nerves... it just throws the whole car off....

I use to have a Euro Plate in the front that read "U S C", but it got damaged from an accident...

A friend of mine had a Silver CLK430 with plates that read "UCLA SUK"

The only thing better than a USC frame is this:
