I picked up these S55 AMG rims off of Craigslist a few weeks ago and it took 10mm H&R spacers front and rear, as well as longer lug bolts to make these rims work. The brake clearance is like 1-2mm on the front, and I think they look much better than the old ones!

Haha, I don't really like the look of the clear ones. I might get the smoked ones, or buy a pair and have them color matched. Thanks!

Might want to take that ///AMG badge off. Judging from the size of your brakes, I don't think it's an AMG.

This is actually an interesting topic, the grand edition clk 350 carries the amg badge because it has the amg body kit and brakes. I wonder how many people cross the line for the amg badge.

I'm not sure how it works overseas, but in the U.S., the only car that carry an AMG badge actual AMG cars, and that's the way it should be.

What did you use to take it off? You should be able to pull it off then use some Goo Gone. No reason to use anything that would scratch the paint.

I just switched from H&R to Vogtland. It has been about a month and they have lowered a bit but it definitely didn't look as high as your does. The pic in my sig was the week they were installed. What size are your wheels?

Your wheels look silver/black in some pics and in others they look white/black. If they are silver you should definitely paints them white to match the car..IMO

I gotta get me some new wheels....I'm not fond of 18"+ or lowering, as the roads here in Mass are horrible, and I prefer comfort.
