Yes its true they are off. I'm going to have them fixed in a couple of weeks, the breaks squeak sometimes as well so I'll have those looked at too. I love the way the car handles with the 18's, much better. I have a black 2004 and noticed a few other things as well as the handeling. I am having 18's put on the 2004. The nav is much cooler, though I think some of the plastic looks cheeper, the 2005 sounds different but not louder, and the thing that really makes me nuts is you can downshift from D-S, and D-C on the 2005 and not the 2004. I had a S-430 which downshifted like the 2005 CLK55. I really wonder about this. As I said its cool to downshift at a light or corner then flip into drive without having to use or go into manual. Anyone understand this?? Thanks for the compliments! Pewter is unreal! it never gets dirty Mark4

Love the quads, Very nice, but is it me or the picture, because the right hand side exhaust is crooked.

How about my Dacshund Racer-Rex- I have a buddy seat for 2 dogs in the back seat its as high as the windows and has a harness attached to the seat belt so he can't jump out the window. Check the link. Man he loves to go fast as hell!!

tilted quad is a common prob for quad from AMG. Even people who installed AMG quad on their 2003-4 clk55 had to go back to AMG factory to get it fixed. a good looking car.
