here are some pictures of the WALD D23 wheels on a silver CLS500. Enjoy

They are so right when they say the wheels can make or break the car.

In this case, I say make Those are some of the coolest looking VIP style rims I have ever set my eyes on.

Hey nice one! what tires are you using?

continetal sport contact 2 tires in 255/30/20 and 305/25/20

Wow, 305 in the rear.
That is mad sick.
What width rims?

beautiful car!

i saw wondering on the tires, were they on back order? i got my wheels in and every1 tells me there on back order.

ricky.agrawal - the rear wheels are 20x11
joeyc32 - the 305/25/20 tires are still on back order

20x11!

I know guys with W163's having trouble running that wide!

To each his own on those rims.

Steve you dont like the look?

^^ Not feeling it. And yes my name is Steve! So is that what you're getting for your CLS?

I'm sure he mean, John or James or whatever... !

^^ Actually my name is Ricky Agrawal! And quit spamming! :p

hah....

no man too heavy for my slow 350.. need something lighter.

HRE Comp's. You know you want to.

Radenergie R10 or R20 only about 22 pounds

So that means they are lighter than the regular HRE's. I believe the 5's are 25lbs.

Renntech Monolites... 20 Lbs!

Yeah but the ten spoke design doesn't do it for me. I either like the full mesh style, or a five spoke minimalistic style.

However, on the big body vehicles like the CL and the S, the RENNtech Monolites are a MUST!

Mesh style? BBS RS GT is like 21 pounds in 19x10. Strong as they come. Not the right mesh for ya?

Really do like the comp wheels, did a set here for an M3. C20 charcoal finish 19x9 and 10's. But i think the Comp wheels look too small for the CLS with the stepped lip and all.

I love the BBS RS GT.
However, it doesn't have the lip

BTW: If I do get wheels, they'll have to be 22 inches minimum and 11 inches wide in the rear minimum.

there just another bad copy of the org. D93's

Well, the lip sometimes comes at a cost. And honestly I admire a company like BBS that refuses to produce a wheel they see unfit for motorsport just because it happens to be aestheticaly popular. That's why they don't make wrong offsets to create extra lip, and that's why they don't make 22's. It costs them sales, but they prefer to keep their reputation intact.

This is what is dissapointing in HRE. They now have a line of wheels that I (nor any engineer at HRE I am sure) would ever put on a car. For all the talk about performance, they now make some stuff that is totaly unfit for a performance vehicle.

If you see something on a car and don't really know what it does, it can look "cool"... but if you see something that you KNOW is a total detriment to it, you can't help but to think it looks rather dumb.

To me putting 22" wheels on a car like a CLS, is not all that different in concept than someone who buys a 6" exhaust tip and clamps it to the 1.5" exhaust pipe of his Corrolla. The only difference is one guy has more money.

Oh no! I don't have a CLS. Remember, I have an X5.

HRE has the competition series that is designed for performance.

Some companies have different attitudes towards making products. Hey, I love BBS, but their style just isn't for me in my case. If I had something like a coupe, I know BBS would probably be my first choice. Lightweight, strong, and they look fantastic. However on the X5, it's not like I'm going to race the car, so trying to stretch my eyes to overlook something such as HRE's would be foolish. (But at the same time, I'm not going to put 30lb rims on the car!)
