Cathafer GL450 Custom 22's, Plus Lowering

Hey guys I just wanted to formally welcome CATHAFER to our promo team for 2007! We have really wanted to get a GL450 on the squad for the show season and Cathy just had the right fit for our team.

To really kick things off, we decided that we should do 22" staggered lip wheels on the GL. Cathy decided to pull the trigger on the 3pc chrome Iforged evolutions wheels as they had the right design and lip size for her taste.

We decided that wheels weren't enough, therefore we also used the lowering module which allows for hight adjustment by just using the height adjustment switch that the vehicle already has.

I personally think the car look awesome, and congrats are in order! Hope you guys like too!

Iforged Evolution 3pc chrome
22x10
Front lip 2.5"
Rear lip 4"

Nice looking, well done. Not my style, I like a little thicker 'spoke' on trucks or just more going on so you doesn't look right through.

Ride is just like OEM, the lowering module interfaces with the stock suspension electronics.

D2, is that the most extreme you can go on the GL? How big can your specs go?

We can do 24's no problem, however our customer did not want to go to the extreme. She wanted a more understated and classy look.
