These are my last pictures with stock wheels, my new ones SHOULD be here today. I don't have a tracking # but the UPS website guarantees that they'll be here by the end of today... so we'll see.

Anyway, here they are. Please be sure and take note of my lovely Ei ach sticker.

From the left...

From the right...

Also, take a look at my wheel wells, do you think there's a significant amount of difference? It looks to me like my lowering springs lowered the back more than the front, and that bothers me.

The back wheel...



The front wheel...


Ok that's it. Lemme know what you think.

I love you guys.

 

Nice car. When you get the new wheels, will you sell those?

BTW, what happened to your avatar??

 

My fender wells are the same way,I think your cars going to look good, we have the same color. Yours is a 3.0 though right? How far away from North Carolina are you?

Yes, it's lowered with the ProKit, yes, I'm sure they did it cuz I watched the guy replace my stock springs with the prokit springs, and no, I'm not happy with it either. It is lowered a little; I used to have like a fist and a half of space and now I only have like 2-3 fingers in the back, a lil less than a fist in the front.

I think I'm gonna take the stickers off cuz you're the third person to ask me, "is it lowered?"

I got a really good deal on my wheels. Probably the best deal I could have gotten on them... I'm almost ready to just tell everyone what they are... they're like white elephants; i'm starting to think they don't really exist, cuz I got a great deal and they aren't here yet.

I love you guys.

 

Hehehe...you shouldve gotten scott to get you a tracking number!

It will probably look lower with the new Rims and tires. You can't really tell the difference with the stock rims.

Which, I might add, just arrived at my home!!!

My sister just called to tell me. Now I want to go home from work early.

I love you guys.

 

Congrats!! Now you have to go home and find out if the lugs showed up too! Good luck, post some pics asap

The lugs didn't show.

But... since you have all been SUCH good sports, so patient, etc, I will post a picture of the wheels themselves. They are NOT on my car; they're on the CLS that I bought them from, but here they are. Read em and weep boys!




They are SSR GPO Evo's, 18", powdercoated anthracite with chrome lip. They are beautiful, and I love them very much. Thank you Arnold! (blxmjx to those of you that don't know his name)

I have the Pro Kit on my 3.0 with KONI Yellows and it lowered pretty dramatically from stock hieght. The reason it looks lower in the rear is because the wheel well is smaller than in the front. If you are not pleased with the drop you can try to sell those and get coilovers so you can have a nice even drop all the way around. Hope this helps.

 

See I was good and didnt tell

I hope you will like them once they are on your car!

Thank you, tw1112, for not telling.

Well, now we're having issues with the offset. The lugs came today, so I can put them on tonight.

However, offset is 49... that's a lil much.

We're gonna try though... it can't hurt to try it.

I love you guys.

The CLS has five lugs, are you using a wheel adaptor, or are you changing out the hubs?

BTW those are tight! Can't wait to see the pics!!

I think they are dual bolt pattern

No more scratches thanks to the dumbass who walked on my car and had to pay to have it repainted.

 

Dual bolt pattern.

I love you guys.

 

Huh......didn't know they had dual bolt wheels for different lug numbers, only thought they made them for different lug spacing with the same number of lugs.

Cool!
