Looks good buddy! Not too flashy or overstated, could pass for stock but a lot more open with the 5 spoke design. Are they staggered width?

OEM CLS550 wheels 275 rear tires and 245 front tires on 18 inch wheels. The CLS rear wheels also have a wider looking offset so it looks more staggered then it is.

Both tips are there but they will be off shortly (they are the fake looking tips that have a this unusual design to them) to accommodate dual tips and aftermarket exhaust (chime in if you have recommendation for what mufflers to buy)

colour of car is Midnight Blue....
thanks hoping to buy and slr camera soon, will take better pics then.

W211 looks better from behind than the front IMO, both look great and stately but the lines come together perfect at the back.

I came out to my car and the CLS was parked beside me, had to take a picture. ; )

Also put the hood ornament back on, any thoughts?

I think the E-Class is meant to have a hood ornament, looks much better and stately. I think the AMG could go either way. I like it, good looking car buddy.
