COR Monoblock Wheels?
Hey All,
I'm considering my wheel options and it seems that the stock wheels will make it very difficult to wash the calipers. So I was considering something lightweight with less spokes. What do you guys think of these? That is...unless your username is Chuck Z. Kidding.![Big Grin](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

I don't have any trouble cleaning my calipers/rotors when I wash the car. Does it take longer than it would if they were 5 spokes? Sure, I don't think that is a good reason to buy a particular wheel over another though.
Not sure I've seen a better looking wheel on a BS than the stock wheel but it's your car and you seem set on changing the wheels. Get what you think looks good and don't bother with what other people think? I'll never ask what others think of my wheel choices b/c I know it's a very individual decision....
Good luck.

I really wanted to get rid of the amber bumper lights in the front but it doesn't appear that there's anything on the market for that either. Maybe I should forget the rims and go for the evosport headers and exhaust?

What I love about this car is that if you were to take your run of the mill Mercedes and customize it with a body kit, wheels/tires, carbon fiber, interior, suspension, brakes, exhaust, power (well for some people anyway), etc,.... it might end up looking/sounding/performing like a CLK63 Black Series? Best part, Mercedes did it all for you and you don't take a $ hit for customizing it... Pretty good in stock form don't you think?

if you enjoy modifying cars you always feel like there is something to be done. look for some two or three piece forged wheels. find a wheel you can build, stagger, lip, etc. it will personalize your car and give you the "modifying experience" you crave.

And if it really adds that much power and torque, I'd consider getting the entire header and exhaust system PROVIDED that it's reversible...
But I do see your point Chuck. The whole point of this car is that it's more or less...the entire package and you don't need to do jack to it. HOWEVER, it seems that my "inner child" has been manifesting itself and I feel the need to try to customize it.
Just out of curiosity...should I really drive in C for the first 1000 miles to break it in or is that unnecessary? I'm planning on going by the book just to play it safe...

After seeing some of your posts, I am starting to believe that you may have bought the wrong car. No offense and no disrespect. I dont think you are fully aware of what this car is all about. Nonetheless, you have the right to do as you please with your purchase, but Lambo door? Are you seriously considering that option?
