Overdue pics of my 19 CL Wheels
Gosh, its been so long since I posted a pic of my car with my new wheels... come to think of it, I barely took any pics of my car ever since the new wheels... Nothing really new outside of a cracked bumper...
But, in about a week or so, my Lorinser DTM kit should be all ready, so.... look forward to more pics then...
In the meantime, here are my 19" CL Wheels:

But, since I already had someone order me the DTM Kit, I feel bad not getting it, so I will go that route...
I think, once my brakes wear out, I'll get the C32 AMG Brakes (although many discourage it on our cars)

Don't rims that size mess up with acceleration, fuel economy, and the milage gauge? What springs you got in there?

Fuel economy seems fairly uneffected for me... I'm still getting about 300 miles per tank...
Mileage will be off a little, but the only a fraction of a mile, nothing much
I'm running a full Brabus Sport suspension (shocks & springs) with 1 dot pads all around... this yields a total drop of exactly 2" at all 4 corners

Lets see, given the added weight of the wheels & tires, yes, it does reduce the acceleration a little

How do you like the Brabus suspension? I'm debating between that and the cupkit for our next project CLK.

the Brabus setup is more for comfort & style, whereas the H&R CupKit is more of Performance & Style... although many people with the cup kit say the ride is very comfortable too
For a project CLK, it really depends on what you want... if you want the real slammed look, the cup kit is more flexible... it all depends on what you want out of it
