Thanks for the kind words, indeed they are very elegant and yet sporty.
Right now I'm experimenting to put my CLS wheels on the E.

Price the cost of tires on 17" and then 18" before you buy, it's enough to give one pause.
Cost of 18" profile tyres is about twice that of 17", right? What tyre specs are you using? 235 or 245?

Are you on 17" SIR Avantgarde style 17" wheels?

Could you PM me your email address; for the time being you can see my msn group

All of the damages is fairly cosmetics, but the thing is you need to replace two of the tires (punctured and pretty worn)
