i just got off phone with them.. they waiting for the old hood to arrive at their wharehouse, before they can send me correct one..blah blah blah,

something tells me, they going to make the same mistake again...

when i search for parts online, i notice sellers list "FITs: 2000-2006 w220"..they don't know that 03 change facelift..so end up with wrong parts..

i give up trying to tell them that 2003 and up are different...

yah man haha i ended up with the Concave 10's from 360Forged!

If it doesn't turn out that great I'll probably sell it and get another set. I got them for a deal anyways so it's not too bad.

360 Forged just finishing everything as of today and should ship my wheels friday!

very similar but unfortunately with our cars we can't get that much concave because of the offset and brake clearance...

I'm running 20x10.5 et35 and 20x9.5 forgot the offset for the front... haha

so with the offset my concave might only look like the front wheel of the CLS... but i'll still get some staggered looking concave so we'll see how that turns out!

I have a feeling I'll rub like a **** but you'll never know unless you try it i guess... haha the reason I went with 285 is because no one makes 275/25/20... so the next up is obviously 285/25/20

fingers crossed dude

Looks good man everything is coming along quite nicely. The SC and intake look CLEAN! I like the valve covers I was thinking of painting them black too but it would hide the oil leaks etc etc.

Just a question why did you get rid of your stock ram air setup? What are the benefits of running a single cone air filter at the TB? Wouldn't it draw too much warm air?

i have 285 30 20 on my s and i rolled my rear fenders and had the back pad where the wheel meets the rotor professionally machined down to make the offset more and it rubs a little still. think my problem is the tires are tall not round edges.
