New Wheels!!! Check it..
Well, I took the twenty inchers off of my car. These are the 7 spoke wheels off the CLS with Pirelli P6 tires... 245/40/18 in front and 275/35/18 rear. I also changed out the center caps to the silve/chrome star style. Definitely something that hasn't been done a lot. I will most likely be selling the 20's here shortly.
Let me know what you think.

Well, I took the 20's off b/c with the sport suspension and the tire I was running they would touch the fenders if I took a sharp turn into a parking lot with a steep incline.
Yes, they use the same stock bolts.
Oh, plus I had bent three rims already in the random new potholes here in the DFW area... so I was sick of that as well.
These were factory take offs and the tires have nearly zero mileage on them. Best part is, I didn't pay a dime!

I believe that the original sport wheels that came with the car look better. Just my $0.02
But at the same token I also believe that MB should've put 275s in the rear instead of 265s.
Free is good.

Hey, I like them. Besides, it's all about what you like about your car anyway. I understand what you mean by bent rims. That's why I went to 18's when I changed mine, just because I had trouble in the past with my C class with 19's. And the ride didn't change much from the stock 16's to the 18's, but I even have the same continental tires that came on the AMG from the factory.
BTW: Share with us your secret for getting free rims / tires.

I'm with amdeutsch on this one. I would put the Sport stockers back on. I'm thinking of picking up a set myself to use as winter wheels.

Honestly I don't really LIKE these wheels or the Sport stockers... problem is I don't have the stockers so I might have to wait a while to get my hands on some.
