Scored 19" CLS wheels (liquid metal powder)

I bought a used set o CLS 19" wheels from a "banned member" and then re-coated them in liquid metal. I suprised but they actually weigh 4lbs per corner less than my stock split five spoke 18" AMG wheels.

My car still needs a motor but in the meantime, doing some fluff and buff work.

Preping for powder coat, after a two stage phosphate rinse.



After being coated in liquid metal powder coat.

Nice! I need to get me a set of these.

Looks like there are a couple areas that didn't get applied to well. Could be the lighting. Looks good either way.

Are these the same wheels you can get replicas of on eBay?

What the naked eye doesn't see in these pictures is that Brooke added a special "Quantum Coating" that not only adds increased road wind deflection but also adds 30 more RWHP. It also shoots Ninja Chinese Tri-stars from the center cap. It's **************ific!!! = )

These are oem wheels. You can get replicas but they will not have the same offset and concaveness like the oem ones.

Hands down one of the best rims for our cars, so clean and sexy.

I also love the CLS split five spoke with their aggressive offset. I believe Shardul and Sun has a pair, and shoot my load everytime I see pics of their sleds

I just picked up a set myself recently... wonder if I can use my stock lugs for these wheels? funny thing is that it came off a 02 cl55 and the owner said the offsets were not correct and it was sticking out the body a little under an inch?
