not stock.
I love the wheels.... and I like the idea, but still, somehting is missing ... pulled fenders or something to make it look "complete" ....
there is a black CLK320 (w208) on this forum that pulls off stretch/poke on a benz like no other person (on this forum) has... im sure that with a little work, your's will look just as good !! props for trying this out! its always nice to see something different.

I'm really surprised at the ignorant/racist comments on here. I do a lot of work in Mexico and I don't see any cars like this down there. I also travel to Germany quite often where this has been the trend for years and relatively common there.

Are those rear tires sticking out past the fender? That look went away sometime in the 70's.
Nice wheels.....wrong offset.

haters crazy
I like the wheels (I am biased since I have a set lol) but they are too wide for the car. That stretch in the rear is rediculous.

Sorry about the bandwagon jump so Ill apologize in advance:
Pics look good but whats the true purpose of going outside the norm on a higher performance vehicle. I know the stretch look can be attractive with the right car and wheel but you have a 500+ hp car and to me, form over function is overkill here.
