New Owner - CLS550 - Vorsteiner Wheels

Hi all -
1st post - well technically second since I posted this in the new member section but in hindsight I think I should have posted this here...

Really enjoying this car and wanted to share some pics:

Vorsteiner V-FF 103 wheels in Titanium Machine finish.
Fronts: 20x9 - 255/30/20

A real beauty! You are rightly proud to own and drive it, as I am of my Diamond White CLS550. I have seldom had as much fun driving a car during the past fifty years as I have this CLS. Amazing too is that over the years the style has remained relatively the same yet always looks fresh. It started the "four door coupe" revolution and in that sense is an iconic automobile and one of the most beautiful you'll see on the road today. I've said this many times before in other threads - that in the world of lower and lower engine displacements and the MB classes all beginning to look the same, the CLS remains an admirable aberration.

Congrats OP. Cars look great. Like Shortspark I have a Diamond White CLS550. Mine is a 2014, and I love it. The car's looks are simply amazing. The only thing I've had a problem with is getting the dealer installed swirl marks out of my paint .

Looks amazing. That's the exact size combo I want to put on mine but I daily drive mine through some crappy roads in Philly, NJ and NY so I am concerned about rubbing.

But I am not lowered.

Do you rub at all??? Thanks in advance.

May I ask where you got it lowered by STAR? I'm trying to find a place to do it.
