These tires too skinny but if you are happy with these then no problem

Your wheels look cool but mostly being all black you can not judge how cool these are from a distance

Yep, I meant as in sidewall but when you go for 20s you can not pick up taller ones . Skinny sidewall looks cool but could compromise ride comfort compared to stock tires

Thank you! Ride Isnt bad at all.. Im on stock shocks, I do get slight rubbing in the front only when I hit a dip, wheel is turned and im traveling at a decent speed.. Doesnt happen very often, and I cant tell where its rubbing. There is no marks on the tire and fender looks fine.

You cant go wrong with a set of HRE's.. These are made by MRR wheels, they also make Roderick.. its there "Eurotek" line. There were 2 other wheels I liked, but without spending big $ on a 3 piece wheel, and our high offsets its slim pickin for us.. I knew i wanted all black anc concave, my 1st choice would have been a split 5 or 6 spoke wheel. Im happy with my choice.

no doubts man, they look great. I opted for this style because I have not had 'mesh' wheels yet, haha........of course HRE deposits are not refundable......so that kind of wiggs me out......

wanted something different for myself.....
the vossens might have to go LOL.......
hope the three piece wheels hold up for ya...

I like the vossens on your cls! I was also looking at a 10 spoke style, where the spoke starts out thicker in the center and gets skinny towards the lip.

Does anyone know where to order some vogtland springs for the w212? Out of H & R and Eibach it seems like this one drops the call the most.

I just got these springs. I'm glad I found this thread because the fronts sit perfect but the rears are still to high imo. I'm gonna probably take 3/4 round out of the rears to sit flush.
