looks clean. i saw other picts of 21s on a CLS and it seemed it a bit large. yours looks nice. please share the details on sizing for the wheels and tires. Thanks.

I don't see any lowering on that car....
as I watched them trim, excuse me, cut off the bottom side of the bolts on the front suspesnsion tower. Was touching the tops of the tire contact patch. There was no more room in that fender housing. 25 Aspect ratio Continental tires. Looks remarkable.

Great choice and it looks great. what really counts is if you like it. I decided to go with 19" AMG rims because i was worried about ride quality and I really like the look of the cls55 rims. In any case enjoy.

i thought the 21" maybe too big.
but i think it looks really nice otherwise.
just would be scared to drive it anywhere.
what tires are you running and what offsets?
how is the ride? etc.

OK I realize the whole yo' MTV rapp big wheel thing is in style but come on, it looks like wagon wheels from the old west
there way to big it's out of proportion.
Also the bigger(taller) you go w/wheel size the more you retard your gear ratios making your car ultimately slower w/very noticable slower 0-60 times and top speeds, unless you change out the gearing in the pumpkin to compensate
Anything bigger than 20" on that small car is 
as far as aesthetics are concerned...Just my .02

They actually ride fine. Little more road noise than I would like but I can deal with it. I am going to try and switch tire brands after I wear these out. I currently have continental tires (imported from Germany). Oh and about the YO mtv rap stuff, they are not big boy chrome, flashy wheels, these wheels are made in Germany especially for the Cls. They are on the Lorinser show car. They look much better in person and everywhere I have driven I get nothing but complements. I may need to lower a little in the rear. I dont think I have the room in the front. I will post some more pics. Thanks for the feedback.

Aren't those wheels suposed to be directional? The rims on the left and right side are the same direction??????? Something does not look right to me?
Am I nuts, or is this the way it is suposed to be?
