Wheels on my 1998....and Xenon light
Believe it or not, I really like the OEM 16" wheels on my 1998 CLK320, despite my friends and other CLK owners disagreement. The only thing I would like to change is the rear wheel spacing. I think the car would look a little better at certain angles if the rear wheels were "spaced out". If I were to do this, what should I know beforehand, and what should I expect handle-wise and otherwise. Thinking .5-1 inch.... is that right???
Thanks

PS- Thanks MMGrad for the xenon light, though the new one is brighter and whiter than the other, which, is more purple. Is this normal...or is this a sign that my other light is getting ready to fail?? Thanks, again.

lights do get dimmer as they get older, and when they are ready to die, it gets more yellow also... I sent you a light thats off a newer Benz, i wonder if its a higher K rating also...
What i suggest is to install the brighter bulb into the passenger side headlight, thats the one you need more usually
