Ok, it's my first novice attempt at decent photography, so please don't laugh, guys. [/B]

Let me know what you think about the car and the pics. Be honest!




EDIT: please visit http://www.wheelexperts.com/gallery_feature.html for the rest of the pics...these pics are eating up my bandwidth!!!

 

The cars looks tight. Are the HRE's chromed or polished??

 

WOW!! nice pics!! aside from the lorinser vents behind the front wheels, the car is one sweet machine!

i love the look of those wheels and Brembo brake kit! what kind of wheels are those? and what about the specs of the car?

Bruce, when is yours going to be done? I can't wait to see it!

 

By May 4, I can't wait to see it either !!

 

Once again the car looks great. Are there any interior mods??

 

ET26 on an 8.5" rim in front? Is it becuse of the big brake kit?

Those wheels are nice, especially the 2x lip in the rear vs. front!

 

ABSOLUTELY JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Job!

 

Not yet.

 

The minimum outer barrel HRE makes for the 440R series is 1.5". Needing an minimum backspacing of 48mm due to the big brake kit, 26 is highest offset I can safely run. Also, the Lorinser fender is about 10mm wider than stock, so now the wheels sit perfectly flush with the fender, not sticking out like before. It turned out perfectly.

 

you want me to be honest so i'll be honest

the front fender really has to go...i don't think it does anything in performance except to make the car look like some sort of rice burner.

other than that everything looks great on the magma red.

one other question is that do you feel like that the front grill is kind of seperated with the bumper? (the part where the lower part of the grill meet with the bumper)

nice ride!

 

A Lorinser wheel would have completed the car. But the body work rocks. Also, as a personal opinion, the chrome trim on the window and door handle scream 320, so I would replace those. Nice work!

 

SAAaaaa WWEEEEEEETT! gotta love those pics. makes me want to go out and get a digital cam right away! like the wheels especially. havent seen a clk w/ hre wheels. i will be asking lee for a job soon to hook my ride up like that!

Definitely a show stopper and head turner! Bomb-a** tyte honey wagon!

 

I used to have Lorinser wheels.

Hmm...about the trim, I thought it went well with the car. Maybe I will change it later on. Thanks for the input.

 

Rice burner? I figured it was only a matter of time before I got that one. The fender design was actually taken from the SLR Mercedes concept car. Thanks for being honest, I appreciate it.

The grill/bumper gap is only evident on the passenger side of the car. I have to adjust it but I just haven't had time. Hopefully I can do it this week.

 

Your car is sweet! I think it might be nicer if the chrome window trips are black. Just my 2 cents

 

I'm not wild about the front fascia or the 1/4 panel 'scoops.'


What I want to know is how on earth did you fit 10" rims in the back? I've got 9.5" rims with H+R sport springs and Koni shocks, and I've had trouble with rubbing since day 1.

BTW- I think the HREs are great, and the silver Brembos are very clean looking.

One other thing i forgot to mention. Chrome headlight rings would look even more awsome on that car!

 

I selected the offset and backspacing...i made some very careful calculations. The setup does not rub.

 

i'll pass...too much chrome already...it's already a bit much

 

looks bad i like the color too

why hre rims and not lorinsers?

 

I had Lorinsers on it before...too many of them around
