a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
Very cool Jeff.
I'm liking this set better than the previous.

Are you going to try a set of 21"?

tried 21's and they rub the inside strut, and the ride significantly compromised. Plus can't go 11 inches wide in the rear like the 20's

Those look nasty. What tire measurements are you running?

Looks great, picking up a pair of 20s for my 550 next month... Have no idea which rim to get, considering 5 spoke incurves

The other wheels (niche circuit concaves) looked a million times nicer. They made the car look classy. These wheels look like spare tires. lol. Still nice but for some reason, black wheels like that only look good on black cars.

They wheels aren't bad, but do they come in other choices besides black? I can't stand black wheels!

2001 ML320....resident of repair city / '05 BMW 645Ci....fun times...
I think this car is so ahead of its time. At first I didn't like it. But, the more and more I see it.... the more it grows on me.

Those rims are niiiice {fab's voice}...

But honestly, I haven't seen a rim manufacturer come up with a set that suits the styling of this particular vehicle....

IMO... this vehicle is so ahead of its time that it makes the rims/wheels look dated....

The car is beautiful but the wheels make it look a lot cheaper IMO.

Jeff, I like your choices for the CLS63 it works really well with the color and gives the car a more aggressive look.
I just got some new shoes for my CLS550 and I'm very pleased with the results.

I wanted a look that was elegant, but still sporty. Overall I want the car to still look factory, but have a customized vibe for Mercedes enthusiast.

Take a look at the Black Beauty...
http://www.flickr.com/photos/6662711...in/photostream


I went with a custom 3 tone, 3 piece forged 20" wheel from Cor Wheels "Brava".
I went 20X9 & 20X10.5 255/30/20 & 295/25/20.

I have not noticed much difference in ride comfort and the fitment is perfect.

I'm considering smoked out tail lights if you can share how you did it on The Beast.

Enjoy your ride, because I'm really enjoying mine!
