Sweet!

The one thing i like about the reps vs. authentic is that the reps usually have a deeper rear lip. I'm not sure if that option is also available with the authentic Mono VIs.

CLS 55 AMG - one of the last off the AMG line
Car looks great !

Speaking of CLK63 front bumper - can it physically be mounted on the 55 ? Or did MB change the screw and mount points ?

Looks good on black! I used to have these on and they're still the best looking wheels for the clk. Someone mentioned the number of reps around but don't sweat that - you can spot the reps a mile away. They do not look the same. Just drive carefully with them - they bend like butter.

Thanks, LP. I saw some of your old pics and noticed I am running your old set-up, haha. I really like your car, it's way clean with the body kit and 1-piece 18" Mono VI's. You're right these wheels are one of the best looking for the W209 body style, and the 2-piece looks great on a black opal car!

You're right about being careful, I've heard these are soft. No worries, I'm an OC driver and roads are pretty tame here.

Thanks DoubleNickel! That's a great bet on Craps, BTW, the double-nickel. It pays 8-1!

Lol, nice catch, custom sig lowering by Shake! In real life it's perfect for me. Not too low to scrape, just low enough
