New wheels...
Hey Guys,

I bent a rim so broke down and bought a new set (although i've been on the fence for at least 6-12 months on getting new ones anyway!).

Anyway, these are 18x8.5, 245/40R18 all around...
The cars dirty so i'll take a couple more once it stops raining here in NJ.

Very Nice!

Are the rims from a CLS?

thx guys...
for the compliments. The wheels are CLS55 style AMG knockoff's...
Ran me 1400 delivered for the set w/ 4 new Avon tires.

Funny - i guess you're never done, but the first thing i said when i saw the car w/ the wheels was now its lowering time!
