i have about a finger gap all the way around but depends on the airmatic somedays Mine only rubs on big dips.You should also have them shave the rubber part off the rear right side of the fender for rubbing issues.

The first person to put the Carlsson style rims on thier w220 please post a pic. I think these provide just the right balance. Classy with a little bling OR (depending on how you look at it) Blingy with a little class.

Price doesn't make things "hot" or "exclusive" unless your sense of character and self esteem are being defined by those material things in which case, I feel sorry for you.
I like them because they look nice. Very nice in fact!! But would I pay 5G's for them? I think not!!
Wheels and tires should not cost 1/3 of the price of your car. Well, if you were featured in forbes magazine anytime recently, then I guess it doesn't matter one way or the other its just money right? I guess I would have to give a pass to the trophy seeking enthusiasts out there also, that seems more like a justifiable reason to shell out that kind of bye bye on some wheels..
For everyone else it just reaks of a very bad use of resources...
