AMG CL Wheels on E500
E500 Blk/Blk. I am getting ready for new rims. I can't decide between CL 1 piece (Chrome) or CL-2 piece (Chrome).
CL-1 piece is going to cost me about $4,500
CL-2 piece is going to cost me about $ 6,700
It seems like I'am going to get the same look and I'am not a perfect driver specially when it comes to parking the car.
What do you guys think?

I got these wheels staggered...brand new...with brand new Pirelli staggered...for $3,000 from Globe motorsport in west los angeles. Globe is owned and operated by the same people that run 310 motoring. Ask for Jeff, he'll hook you up with the same deal.

thuglaw,
Since you're in LA why not go to TWS? they will drop it for $500 plus sell you the CL rims for way way less. thewheelsupply.com
BTW I was a set of chrome CL3-piece rims and they looked awesome. 3-piece would be my choice.

I ordered these wheels for my E500 with sports package. 18" AMG Styling V staggered with 245s (front) and 275s (rear).
What do you guys think?

Beng,
when you say sport package, does that mean AMG kit since you're in Canada? Or is it the same sport like in US?

Still contemplating on whether to go for the AMG aero kit with the 4-pipe exhaust system; maybe later on because I am tired of the AMG front bumper look. Did the same AMG conversion on my C320.
What do you guys think; go or no go?

Saw Jason's E500 with AMG Sport Package
Last week, I met with Eddie of AMG Peformance Group and he showed me Jason's E500 (burgandy/stone) with the AMG aero kit which happened to be in his shop.
The car had 20" Lorinser wheels, chromed headlight trim pieces, lighted door sills and the dual tail pipes (one on each side). Yes, the car has been nicely converted. Jason also had the suspension lowered by approximately 3/4". Looks great!
Too bad I didn't have my digital camera.

I say go for it too....IMO you can't go wrong with AMG/Lorin aftermarket parts...I'm thinking of putting on the AMG front/rear and sides myself....that or the Brabus pieces...but seeing as how i have AMG wheels on already, I'll most likely go for the AMG kit.

Absolutley go for it, while the front end might not look that distinct or attract much attention, the rear is just beautiful

The downside maybe a loss of torque on the bottom end because of less backpressure given the larger diameter exhaust pipes. The final look is really impressive though.
