Vossen CV7s on my CLS

Just got some 20" Vossen CV7's since they were in stock, while I contemplate various P40SC finishes. For some reason there weren't any center caps included but they are en route to me. Running 255/30/20 and 305/25/20 Michelin PS2s.

Big shout out to Henry at 3W Distributing. Also thanks to the guys over at ACG San Diego for black lugs, putting in 10mm spacers in the back, and installing a RennTech V3 module.

Does the V3 module only adjust the back? In the pics, was your car stock?
Great look color combo with the wheels. Car looks sweet.

Thank you everyone!

I will take more pics Tues/Wed. I just dropped it off at Brabus for a full body kit.

It's Steel Grey. I blacked out the grille, chrome trim, and badges. Exhaust tips still need to be painted black.

V3 module lowers all four wheels on the 550. The car rides about .75" higher in the back, it just lowers a bit automatically when parked for a few minutes. As much as I would like to drive with a super low ride, the horrible roads in San Diego would be a huge problem. In the pics all the visible trim (except door handles, yet) is blacked out, 15% window tint, and a light taillight tint.

Got the car back from Brabus! They had some problems fitting the rear diffuser as I had the resonator deleted and I guess the exhaust tips are now about 1/2" too far up for their diffuser to fit. They offered to sell me their exhaust system for a really good price if I can't get the tips adjusted, but I'm not sure yet.

Here are some pictures:

Also I had them paint the rear diffuser matte black, but I just saw this picture of one painted to match the body color and thought it looked pretty good with the black accent pieces in it. Might have them paint it Steel Grey as well. Thoughts?

We think you should stick with the Matte Black, it will match you wheels better.

The HRE S101 wheels that Pertplus just posted would look sick on this car. Brushed Titanium...unreal. Maybe you could work a deal with him on tires too and get a great deal. Or maybe these tires would work. Either way, I would like to see them on this.

Puddle lights are definitely a favorite! Everyone that rides in my cars with them says they're great. Also it's hard to see but the small Brabus logo in the fenders also light up.

Just saw those; they look awesome! I'm too indecisive though which is a problem. It took me forever just to decide if I wanted the P40SC style. These CV7s are really growing on me though.. Decisions, decisions!

Are those the lights that go on the bottom of the doors and display an image on the ground? I feel like I saw someone do that on here before, can't remember though.
