Talk about breaking news! When did this happen!? Those rims are so hard to find, especially in that color combo. Looks absolutely sick. Compliments the OEM mods you have on the car.

A new photoshoot with your favorite CLK55 is needed!!

For sure! BTW, what size spacers are you using, and could you still use your OEM wheel bolts?
