i was told that they're the only folks that can delimit through software~without touching the engine~~which i'm afraid would void the warranty~~can anyone confirm that?
any one had they're car delimited? any suggestions would be great~
i thought so~~how fast did u go up too? did you have your CL delimited? would you?

mark, click on my link at my signature, there you will see the 19" CL 5-spoke AMG Rims in Chrome, I wouldn't get chrome for your car, polished would look classier.. Am I mistaken or is that eucalpytus wood? I thought those only came on S430's, but its prolly somethin else. I would also suggest the Rear Deck Lorinser Spoiler, thats on my car above the back window, it adds to the class without spoiling the presence.

rekjr40,
fyi trucks have larger TIRES
marklu,
congrats on the new car - 18" wheels look small in proportion to the W220 chassis - you've got to get the 19-20" wheels after your wife calms down from your s55 buy:p

thanks~indeed~the 18" look small~after almost a month since delievery~i already find the ride with the stock wheels a bit too rough for a luxury sedan~is this normal AMG owners?
nevertheless~i've been waiting for Harris to get back to me about Style IV 19" multi-piece for w220, which i have not been able to locate anywhere else but his site @ www.hartonmotorwerks.com~ ~~Harris?!?

If you think 18"s ride poorly, definitely stay away from anything larger. Maybe just get the car lowered 1/2- 1", like some of us are trying to figure out how to get MB to do, and that will give you a better look and handling.

Also, maybe lower your tire pressures to improve the ride. It can make a big difference. 28front/29 rear is what MB recommends on S600 for regular driving. 32/35 for fast driving. The ride difference is quite noticable. I run my 18"s at 32/24 which is good ride, great handling.

I have an S500 with standard 2003 18" S600 wheels all around. Tire size is 245/45/18's, just as the 600 does.
