Re: Tell me if I runined the look of the CLK

I will be very very honest with you. I don't trust a Mercedes around a corner at high speeds at all. I have this and a 350Z... yes orange and apples but boy I wanted more stickiness on the roads. The handling now is 7 times better. I can actually tell.... and Hear freaky enough... these are 18X9 and 18x10. I asked what people think because I am getting a (tacky effect) price degrade effect from people. I see people stare and point. but they are not Mercedes users. But I at first thought it gave the car so much elegance.

Cosmetically, not really (if you like chrome that is, as a rule I don't like > chrome, but it appears that many people do). My only worry is about adverse > effects on handling. What size are those? > Richard > > Is this over kill? Thanks. > > > > > > > >

I actually think they aren't that bad then. From the pic, I thought they were 20 or something, and that would hurt handling, but 18 is good. I wonder why you would get a price degrade. Someone could buy the car, sell these wheels, but new Benz wheels, and have cash left. Richard

Well, to begin with, the CLKs were not designed to be a great handlers...then again most MBs aren't (AMG excluded).

You might want to go here (if you aren't already):

Most of the guys that upgrade their wheels upgrade the suspension.

Because they want better handling cars as well, but you give up the MBs classic ride comfort.
