Default new wheels on the Mercedes CL600!

Even though im debating selling her (for 22,500 by the way) I decided to take some pics of the new wheels. They are 20'' Niche GTP wheels. I like these alot better than the originals. The car is lowered with AMG's ABC hydrolic suspension. Hope you like...

old wheels:



New wheels:













One interior shot:



And one of the V12:

meh, kind of looks like you just painted the old wheels

A set of nice BBS would have been much better.

True that. I wish my mom realized that when she bought her stupid 740iL. What a waste of money.

The rims don't seem to give a look of class to the car. It makes the car seem like its nothing special IMO.

what year 7 series?

I bought my 5 series two years ago and already lost 8 grand on value. lol

but when you buy cars like these it's for personal enjoyment rather than an investment.

2001, you wanna buy it?

She gets no personal enjoyment from it. She doesn't drive it hard, never gets on it, etc etc. The only people that get any enjoyment out of it is my brothers and I.

The only real plus to the car is the way ***** look at me when I am driving it, haha, damn ******.

Definitely not my cup of tea. Get some BBS RGR wheels or something and clear your headlights and you will be gold.

I was going to debate that, but I can't. Lexus' seem to hold their value fairly well. Infiniti's seem to loose it.
