Those are nice, have always loved those. Don't they have an OEM 19" version or something similar too?

LOL, well thanks for not taking it automated car washes!

I'm not sure if they do a 19" version or not to be honest, didn't want to go any larger than 18" as the rears have 35 profile sidewalls which IMO is too skinny already. The ride doesn't really seem to suffer though, I still have a spine.

Same wheels?

Nero and Lowpost,

You guys have the same wheels, right? What is the exact name of the wheels? Vorsteiner?

So far I really like the C63 reps like Andy's, but your wheels are growing on me.

I think certain wheels look really good with the right color combo as well.

I currently have the stock 17" wheels on my Brilliant Silver 2005 CLK500 Cabriolet. Thinking of doing 19" upgrade. Not sure how it would look without buying aftermarket shocks and springs.

Thanks in advance.

Marc

P.S. Just read some info and they may not fit my car; they sell these in replicas?

I love the look of the pre facelift AMG bumper for some reason. H&R springs modified up front while i wait for my coilovers to come in. had to mock the drop to fit the wheels.

19x9.5+25 f 225/35/19

19x9.5+15 r 235/35/19

putting the 235/35 up front and ordering some 245/35 for the rear.

This is sweet, Sweet Jones.

I've been staring at your wheels; wondering how it would look on my Brilliant Silver 2005 CLK500.

After a few days, this one is now on my Top List. The C63 reps (the one on Andy's is now my second choice).

What to do...what to do. Anyone out here have super-powers to photoshop these wheels to a Brillian Silver car?
