My wife has driven my cars less than a handlful of times and this happened:
*Drove my 04 E55 once, and cracked the front lip on that go around.
*Drove my 06 E55 once, and pulled up onto the curb infront of an ice cream parlor while I was standing there with my kids.
*Just drove my newly purchased truck this week, and to release the hand brake she just reached under the steering column and yanked the first thing that had a handle, it was the fuse box cover which broke off.
Never again, woman just dont care at all, they really dont.

Wow thats not too far me, I may have to follow up with someone I know that has a set of the same SL wheels that apparently have "some" damage?
Hey if the price is right it may happen

Fawk, I want to say they are heavy. When I went to pick them up, I want to say they are heavier than the CLS55, which are around 30lbs up front and 33lbs in the rear....

Never wieghed them, but I can say they are heavy *** pigs. Easily twice as much with wheels and winter tires over my 20" monolite setup.

Gentlemen: I've said it before, I'll say it again:
To prevent your woman from curbing your wheels, scraping your lips, parking too close to cars say the following:
"if you curb my wheels, or scrape anything on my car, I will take your favorite pair of shoes, and your favorite purse and drag them along the curb"
not an exaggeration, my wife wont park next to a curb, let alone another car. . .she loves her G pattern and red bottom shoes too much. . .
