Nice colour, but why do people put those rubbish grills on

Isnt that the same grey as that C32 that was posted last week? I really like it but that grill is horrid. I get why they put those wheels on it but i think some nice split rims would suit it more.
Bin the wheels? Those are CLS AMGs, no? If they're genuine, they don't look too bad
But yes, the grill is ugly.

Late model wheels on earlier model cars very rarely 'work'
This one is no exception.
( Didn't think they made the AMG VI in a 17 inch , so they may be reps )

I know what you mean, i think the spokes on modern MB/AMG wheels are a bit to thin for the body styling of the older MB's. Also the older designs look better with wheels with a lip on them imo. I can understand why the owner put them on it though because the grey on the wheels matches the cars paint work. If 17's id imagine they are reps because those wheels are 19's normally arent they?
I wouldnt mind trying a set of the E-class wheels like *** has on his on my CLK some day.

Yeah, quite true actually. On this CLK, I would either have mono 2's or the original 17" AMG 5 spokes from W208.

Both look great on a CLK.
There is a lovely 55 round my way that has AMG VI's on ( genuine 18 inchers ) and it just looks chavved up.
The big slab sides of these cars suit the chunkier wheel. The thin spoke ones just look odd , especially if they have tiny discs and calipers behind them.
