Yo, looking forward to spending a few grand on the clk500, need suggestions of what I can do, ideas and advice, thx
I already got a wrap and want to do something more.
What size rim fit the car without cutting the body and won't have a problem when turning? the 18 or 19 or 20? Any wheels recommended?
Can I change the rear speakers to something spicier? How?
What kinda speakers can I put in the car for the bass? Do I need an amplifier for the speakers then?
Any widebody kit out there? I can't find any for clk350 or 500, please suggest
Any mods and tunes I can add to the car engine and exterior to increase the 302hp to 400+ maybe?
The car got stock spring right now, but somehow it looks like the front is having more clearance than the back?
16 years old help me out.

Thx
420

See my signature for the mods to my 550. I would only go up 1 size above stock and no more than 19 max on the wheels. I think the 500 is stock 17 inch wheels. The stock wheels for my 550 were pretty light and were excellent wheels. Getting aftermarket wheels as light will get a little expensive, as they will likely need to be forged. I currently have Mandrus wheels and I have been satisfied with them since installing them 5-6 years ago. If I change them, I will go with forged light weight replacements sometime over the next year ($2K-$3K).

An obvious reply is for you to just buy a 550 but I know that feeling of just doing your own thing. I've spent a few $K on my 550; could have just bought a 63. But it wouldn't have been the same.

I don't know anything about the entertainment stuff. Unless I am on a trip longer than 2 hours I seldom use it.
