Spiderer Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Greetings, everybody. I have had a CLS55 for a few years and get much pleasure from using and observing it when it is functioning well. I have seen some CLS 55s exhibiting bigger wheels, which give them a visually striking appearance. However, I acknowledge that increasing the size of the alloys may result in a rigid and unpleasant ride. Therefore, I am considering a decision to increase the supply from 18" to 19". However, while I have come across a wheel that I find visually appealing, if rather "Euro", it is very hard to see it being mounted on the automobile. I need replacing the rear tyres, as the original wheels are nearing the point where they require refurbishment. Therefore, it seems to be the opportune moment to align all the tyres and rejuvenate the appearance simultaneously. Points of interest: https://www.lkperformance.co.uk/wheels/3sdm/11460-0-06-silver-cut?vehicle=770&front=19x8.5&rear=19x10.0&inventory_id=1024501 Tyres of interest: https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre/Bridgestone/Potenza-Sport.htm#35778 The kit is priced at £1,946, but, I may consider selling the old wheels to offset the cost. I am essentially seeking views. An assessment of mental stability. Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericaMonster Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Aftermarket alloys can seem unattractive. Have you examined the 19s that were originally offered from the factory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderer Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 I am unable to afford any recently released items, however I have come across a few sets on Ebay that I find rather attractive. Thank you for the comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericaMonster Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Having an item that has previously been refurbished or something that needs to be refurbished can assist to reduce the price. Examine vehicles that are being dismantled for spare parts and determine whether any of them has a complete set of wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderer Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 Thank you very much. I, too, encountered this webpage. The CLS is from an incorrect age, requiring some cognitive effort to comprehend. An alternative course of action would include replacing my tyres and engaging in unwise behaviour elsewhere, such as acquiring a 77mm SC pulley kit or importing headers.

Istairde Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Considering the condition of the roads, I would examine a group of 13 vehicles equipped with 150 profile tyres. To clarify, I substituted the 18 seconds on the CLS with 19 seconds, and after a span of 5 minutes of driving, the disparity became apparent, and it was not favourable.

Dudeta Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 If you relocate to the 19th century, it may be advantageous to purchase 5 of them as a precautionary measure against pothole cracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bourhay Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 When I wear out the subpar Flintstone run flats, the 19's on my 3 Series are undoubtedly worn out. If possible, I would go for 17's; however, they are not compatible with the front callipers, thereby necessitating the use of 18's on appropriate tyres.

AmericaMonster Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 The performance of the EQE on 20s surpasses that of the preceding 2017 c-class on 18s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
