What kind of 21's would you recommend? I have a 2007 CLS 550 and my car is Obsidian Black ....I see some sick pictures on this site: http://butlertire.com/galleryDisplay...&make=Mercedes
I was thinking of getting black chrome...with a deep lip...but i'm not so good with cars and rims so do you guys have any suggestions of what I should ask for when talking to these guys? I like this one company who has a 3-month or 6-month no payment on financing for it but again...please help me out and let me know what would look SICK for my car because I want to get a body kit in the future too...thanks!

They said $7500 with everything shipped to the door. Then I have to go have someone pop it in...will I have to do anything to my suspensions because of the rims? Do you think it's worth it and the quality is good? I want to be sure to be able to put Benz thing in the middle...please get back to me...and this is the specs of what the guy said:
"Those wheels are $1,350 per front and and $1,450 per rear. The tires are $429.00 per front and $449 per yearThey are 2-piece, forged barrels and are extremely light and durable vs. other multi-piece wheels that are more money such as Asanti or Lowenhart. Lowenharts are much more proned to bending than MHT wheels."

He is right, Lowenhart wheels are very fragile, butI really don't know much about MHT's. I heard that forged wheels are more durable.

Is it worth it? What do you recommend? Also...did you have to lower your car or anything once you got 21's? Do I need to do anything about the suspensions of my car or anything?

just get the right tire size, and 21"s will fit without any mods to the suspension etc. I will PM you with my tire set up, but most wheel shops know exactly what you need.
just avoid all pot holes when you get them

I just called MHT on those vortex's and we're told that the 21's are not available yet and are roughly a 6week wait.
With that being said, I can easily get you into a 3pc 21" for either the same or a better price.
Give me a call at 858-279-8900 and we can chat.

Last question for y'all...be honest...do 21's mess up the ride quality at all? I just want to know an honest answer...because I enjoy the ride quality so with 20's and 21's...is the ride quality any different at all or any difference ? I really appreciate all of the help as this is an important decision about my car...!

Its really not that different in ride quality, so you should get the 21's. if you get the 20's , you will always have the 21's on your mind. lol
