So I decided to leave BMW and come back to Mercedes....

August Fools!!! Wow, I am a douche. But I am now going to be a douche with some gorgeous Klassen M52r wheels I wanted to share pics of in case any of you were considering these wheels. I am getting them installed tomorrow and if they are 1/2 as good as they look on pics, then I am totally stoked!!!







I have no independent thought, so I decided to copy Vic and just be a mini-baller jr. jr.

I know this aint a BMW forum, but I feel that I have earned my stripes (E55, C63 and CLS63)...but at the very least there's no harm in posting up pics of wheels. These are a brush tinted matte. Got them from Wheel Warehouse in Orange County. I will post pics when they get installed, and then repost them after Rock takes down my pics.

Agreed. You've earned your stripes, so I'll stay clear.

BTW, those look terrific!

My insurance said it would have to raise my rates because of all the things that would happen to my car after I put that finish on the wheels.

Damn it. I thought you really dumped one of your bimmers and bought a new AMG. The Klassen logo reminds me of my daughter's favorite boy band.

Why not be adventurous and have it powder coated puke green? Blue is taken already. BTW, nice wheels. I almost got one until I saw one of your HRE for sale. :-)

i drive them all, fast and hard
nice.....i really like them....the vorsteiner version of the similar wheel is nice too

my issue with getting 20s is having to drop the side wall ratio down a size to keep the rolling diameter similar to stock....i know the weistec black E actually has M5 size tires on their klassen 20s but thats over 3% change in diameter...which is hear is a no no

anyways nice wheels bro, my friend has the same car as u and is thinking of getting them too

Absolutely perfect. Looks as though the car was built around those wheels. Well done!

Thanks! Like Vic, I've been contributing to HREs 401(k) plan for years, but decided to take a leap of faith with Klassen and have not been disappointed. The finish is just flawless. Wheel Warehouse (Anaheim, CA) and Frank (owner of Klassen) are superb to deal with in every way. The center caps are also a special anodized tint and really adds a nice subtle compliment.

Its no big deal running a lower profile, its call plus sizing and I have done it for years on many cars. With my Benzes i did 20's on 3 recent cars and all dropped the aspect ratios by 5 (30 to 25 and 35 to 30) with no adverse effects. These are not sports cars and we all know how hard I push mine. Its perfectly fine running 255x30x20 and 305x25x20.... Michelin PSS makes amazing high performance safe tires and in this size(s).

Nice but to me the black ones were the nicest combo I've seen on the f10
Can't beat it with that Monte Carlo blue with blacked out M badge, so sick

When I first went with 20's on my CLS500 I did just that...30 to 25 & 35 to 30, and I HATED it!!! The ride was ridiculous!!! Then when I upgraded to the CLS63 I decided to go with 30's & 35's, and even thought the AMG suspension is stiffer the ride improved dramatically. It actually rides better than my buddy's CLS63 with stock 19's!!!


25's & 30's




30's & 35's
