Put some 19's on the wife's car to replace the crappy 17's it came with.

 

looks great but now needs a drop

 

I'd have chosen the AMG double spoke rims as these have a knock off look to them. Agree that you'll need to drop the car too which your wife may not like the ride as much....

 

Car definitely needs a drop. I understand Eibach makes some lowering springs that aren't too harsh. Wife nixed the double spokes as she had those on the E55. These are knock-offs of the CLK63 and S550 AMG rims. They are heavy, but the car has torque to spare.

 

how does the car drive? 550 in a lighter car than the cls.

 

A touch slower than our old W211 E55. Ride is smooth, if not a little floaty. Exhaust note is impressive for a stock car

 

It may look better, but it will also reduce the ride quality. I don't think your wife is going to the 'ring on a daily basis!

 

Well, since she has tracked my dumped E36M3, 996, and now the 997TT I have to say she is not a newbie to taut suspensions. With the E55 she always drove it in Sport2 suspension mode

 

very sleek, nice choice.

 

I like them it flows with the car, OEM ftw

 

and my 997s is a touch slower than a gt2

 

those arent oem, they are replicas

 

Honestly in traffic the CLK can slingshot into gaps as well as the E55 did. I am certain that head to head it is no contest but given the environment the car is driven in 100% of the time, my groceries haul ***

 

i bet they do, i used to have a clk55 coupe, more than likely, given your 7sp and a little more power, i would say they are more than likely neck and neck, considering yours is a conv.
