Pics of my concave CLS wheels
As promised in various threads, here are pics of my concave AMG's. Sorry for crappy pics...only thing worse than my camera is my skills behind it.
Wheels are 18" CLS550 sport AMG wheels. Offsets are 28front and 25rear and I'm running stock E55 tire sizes. Wheel windows and calipers are painted designo graphite.
I will be closing the wheel gap soon

the ride must be nicer than 19's. Looks good with those 18's.
my CLS 55 19's look just like your rims.. they pop out just slightly in the rear.
I'm back to stock now, since I have 2 rear bent rims.
I'm still on the fence if I want to put them back on. I like the ride of the 18's but like the road feel of the 19s.
I'm going to fix my rims, try a softer tire and see if it works. If not, I'm going to probably look for thse same rims you have.

reason for so many questions is i was going to get a different set of wheels which has +25 offset..

My work commute is much longer on the freeways now so I love the comfort of the extra rubber and I still get a more aggressive look with the concave wheel and aggressive offset. Ideal for my needs.
My next move might be to 3 piece concave 18s, now that so many wheel makers have finally begun producing them.

I'm fairly certain the wheels are 8 front and 9 rear (maybe 8.5/9.5, but I don't think so). I'm running stock E55 tire sizes, i.e. 245/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear.
I obviously have zero rub at my current height (jsut a few washers
in the front and no drop in the rear). But I'll let you know if I get any rub after I install the ELM.
