I'd leave the tires off as they are a required replacement part.

I spent about 4500 on my CLS. The only mod I plan to get for the G is tint and I'm not even sure about that.

A little under $4k. However, I still have the Unichip to come and deciding if I want spring/shocks or not. I'm keeping the stock rims.
