The wheels look great!

It is amazing how "right-sized" those wheel look on that CL55. I think it must be the size of the vehicle that dwarfs those huge wheels into almost stock looking dimensions.

I saw the same-sized wheels on a CLK recently and they almost looked cartoonish in thier largeness.

Congrats and good mod.

Adam why don't you go with the rb tech lowering kit? I have that on my S500 and I think it did a great job. If you click my link and check page 4 u'll see how it looks after the drop. I still wanted to lower the rear so it'd be even with the front, but it u read my other thread you'll see I've got a problem with my car right now. Btw, your car is awesome. If you'd like to trade contact me. hehe. If not then your "old" CL55. Btw, I've got Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires on my 20" lowenharts too. I couldnt be happier with them. Can I ask what u payed?

I have looked into the RB Tech brackets. The only questions I still have about them that have been unanswered are:

#1, When using these brackets to lower the ride, do they effect the alignment/toe/camber at all that would necessitate a wheel alignment ?

#2, When using these brackets to lower the ride, how does this effect the ride on ABC vehicles ?

After recently doing the install I am considering going for an alignment. Not sure how the kit affects ABC equipped vehicles tho. btw, what did you spend for the tires?
