Cleaned up the CDI

So I got the summer shoes put back on the CDI and got it all cleaned up.

A friend of mine had a brand new set of 285/30 INVO's that he put on his wheels and did not like the look, so I swapped him my 10k mile 275/30's even up. They are actually a better fit as they are the same exact height as the 245/35 fronts.









Thanks for looking

Nice ride. I worked my rig over last week with 3m rubbing compound, their hand glaze and then their showcar paste wax. It shines at night it's so bright.

Your new shoes look nice...but isn't the ride on the hard side?

Looks great! 275/30 is definitely the right size for the rear.

I almost bought a CDI too because I had a long commute, but they let me work from home so I got the E550 instead. First thing I was going to do to the CDI was 18" or 19" wheels like you did here, it makes the car look 100x better.

The only problem is it kind of makes you want to do the bigger brakes too, but it's tough to justify plopping down $3-4K to upgrade to the bigger rotors and AMG calipers.

285 fits the wheel better and is the exact same height as the front, reason for switch.

the beauty of the vossens is they hide the brakes well.
