Are these wheels too bling?

[BIRMA]

I've been having a look at aftermarket wheels for my CL, I'm going for forged as they are a bit stronger and probably recommended for my car. Some are ridiculously expensive but I'm undecided about these. 1 they are too big I'll keep to 20 inch wheels for the sake of a decent ride. 2 I think there multi spoke design suits the CL.

They look nice...until you have to clean them.

Good point, fiddly spokes like these are a pain.

They look good.
Buy yourself a set of Wheel Woolies

 

[Jimmas]

As above, will be a pita to clean.

Yes I have a set of those, good quality.

I like them. Make sure you seal them and they shouldn't be too difficult to clean.

If it was me I'd drop a size due to the state of the roads.

At a first glance I wasn't sure because of the symmetrical spacing between the spokes but looking at the rear from a slight angle, yes, I like them and it shows off their concave design.

I wouldn't worry too much about running 21" wheels on a CL. I have them and even with a lowering module the ride is surprisingly good.

I've found out they are actually 20 inch wheels and after an awful lot of hunting found the web site, so I carefully filled out an enquiry form and after 10 re-sends have given up. Not sure if these companies know their contact form never seem to work properly. I read somewhere the wheels are in excess of £10K for a set of four so I'll probably pass on them, pity.

These people have a good selection.

Suits the car, but would need to be kept clean to look good!

I like these Vossen alloys on the CL65

I like those too, I'm maybe a bit out of touch but Vossen and Vorsteiner forged wheels are £5-9K a set.
I quite like the OZ forged Ares wheels too.

 

[C43AMG]

Much prefer the Vossen Wheels

 

[BIRMA]

I've just asked the question to the Vossen distributor to check if there is any real need to stick to forged wheels as the wheels in that video are not the forged type as far as I know

 

[Merkaholic]

Looks the part.......dont stress about the cleaning. Just tell the mrs shes got a few extra pots to wash.

 

[BIRMA]

Decided forged is probably the wisest route so here are two I like. Constructive opinions welcome as I can't decide which and at the price they are I've got to be right first time. Both Vossen.

hopefully this works.

 

[Alps]

check out ispiri wheels , some nice designs and light too

 

[anglaslt]

Difficult choice but probably I'd go for the 15 spoke. The other is a little too open for me.

What wheel size and offset have you decided on?
