2014 CLS550
20x12 club

Hello guys ! My name is Eddie and I'm from a small town an hour north of Houston Tx . I'm new to the forum and new to the Mercedes world . I bought a 14 cls550 4matic and I'm loving every minute of it . I recently did the resonator delete mod and I couldn't be any happier with the outcome . So far I've drop it using links and slapped on a set of niche invert wheels . I'm new to this whole car lifestyle but I'm not new to the custom world . My show truck is a Mercury mountaineer bagged and body dropped on some In tro Billet wheels .

*****Update***
I ditched the Niche wheels and upgraded to a set of Avant Garde 3 piece wheels with Rose gold finish . 20x10 in the front and 20x12 in the rear . I'm not too sure on my offset i just told AG that I wanted an aggressive set up . I wish I could of gone with a beefier tire out back but I didn't want rubbing issues . Next up is getting all my chrome trimming wrapped in black and maybe a couple emblems wrapped in rose gold . I also installed AccuAir air management to help me let all the air out of the airmatic system . Getting custom air struts are in the near future to achieve more low My rear wheel Rose Gold finish

Fully aired out . Need more low My ride height when cruising around town

Taco, that truck is sick! I'm a big fan of lowrider trucks, and it looks like you shaved everything off of that thing.

Great looking car too man...did you replace the factory compressor with the AccuAir air management system? Is it all plumbed in? Working well?

Thank you ! Yeah door handles , gas tank lid , roof racks , and rear bumper shaved off . I actually sold this truck a while I got tired of the never ending money pit . And as far as the accu air it basically hijacked the original components . My original compressor and air matic system is still plugged in but I just unplugged the fuse which in return help me get rid of the dash board message "vehicle too low " . Everything works like a charm and the MB service reps always get a kick out of what I've done to the trunk lol

Your car is just sick. Could you share with us about what size of tire you put on the AG? Does it rub at all?
