Lookin good Robert, the thin spokes of the wheel go very well with the curves of the CLS IMO.

Lambo and CLS damn, you're a lucky man!! Congrats!

Lowering the car definately makes the car look much better. I have not been in a CLS 55 but the stock CLS500s acceleration and handling surprised me. Great looking wheels, love the lip.

-needs an aerokit
-not a fan of the center design. just exposes too much like a wheel for those caravans people used on the Oregon Trail.

with that said, 1000x better than the many many bone stock ones we'll see on the road in the next year or so.

how do you like the car? I have heard interior space and headroom in particular is really bad.

I really like the car alot. It replaced my '05 E55 and I can tell you that the ride is a little firmer, not by much.

Headroom? I'm 6' and have no trouble. In my opinion the rear seats are incidental, the car was designed as a four door coup -

Very nice Robert......Personally I would not touch the body ie:aero kit. Just tint the windows a bit and you're done. I think Brabus has a 550+ hp kit for that bad boy....then again, too much power in a benz can be scary...just kidding.

I agree on the wheels showing too much of the brakes. There's a company that makes some very nice 2 piece rotrs with silver anodized hats. Does anyone here know who I'm talking about? They work with stock calipers.

They had a booth at Concorso Italiano last year - that much I remember.

I don't dig on aftermarker aero kits for sedans. Besides I don't want to have to worry about then getting some landing gear installed

Dammit man let's do some Kleeman/Renntech stuff for it already. Some ECU, Pulley etc... stuff. Give it some pep and take it to the drag strip!
