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

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

I guess a CLK with standard suspension might feel a bit loose at top speed, but it's just a subjective sensation. CLK's peculiar front seats don't make things better, so instead of those huge chromed alloys which look a bit too flashy on a black car (on a silver metallic maybe...), I'd put back the stock wheels on and then have the AMG suspension package, including thicker anti-roll bars mounted. That way it will handle ten times better, while preserving a comfy ride and nice looks (lowered).

H&R's are great, had those on my very first car (VW Golf GTI 16V) combined with Bilstein Sport shocks and Eibach AR bars. Fun go-kart handling.

yeah I had a set up like that on the VW. but my springs was Eboch and the yellow gas Bilsteins... back in da day... oh yeah newspeed bars.

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.
