Well, received my wheels for the CLK yesterday and got them all sealed up (2 coats of Chemical Guy's Wheel Guard) and as I'm house bound this weekend due to work decided to have a go at fitting them.
Started on the back, no problems at all aside from the fact the new bolts I got from eBay didn't fit at all grrr......
Although that was nothing as when it came time to change the fronts over I couldn't even budge the bolts. The brakes were changed on the fronts just before I collected the car and they must have torque'd them to heck!
So now I've got a very wonky looking car with 2 AMG alloys sitting in the boot. Need to try and pop along to Kwik-Fit and ask them nicely to change them for me and I suppose whilst they are at it refill them with nitrogen to get those green valve caps.
Here is how she is currently sitting...
It's going to look good, thanks to whitenemesis for the wheels and taking such great care of them.
