ISS forged GT-5's for me.

its not everyday you see Japanese wheels on a german car. i say do it.

Yeah but considering the crowd that is getting in on the CLA I can see these kinds of wheels being fitted.

True, sport would have been better. It was harder than you might think to find a suitable photo of a white CLA to modify though!

The basket weave style like this one is not bad for the more modern styling but the AMG monoblocks chop you did earlier was my favorite. almost an acquired taste but i think it goes well together like tea and biscuits.

Those ISS forged wheels look great but i'd rather seen them in a bigger size with lower profile tires and more of an offset going on. Can you make it happen?

Am I the only one who thinks that the fenders are too big for the CLA? Makes the rims look puny compared to the car.

In this case bigger wheels would be needed. The size of wheel seen here is ideal for tracking. For daily use i rather go bigger, bigger wheels will also look better with an aero kit as it makes the body look lower to the ground

I agree. I think that is why I am having such a hard time finding the right 17" wheels for snows. The car needs a set of wheels with a thin outer lip to emphasize the wheel spokes a little more--almost exaggerating them to make the wheels appear larger. Note that some of the MB accessory wheels lack outer lips to make them appear larger.

My current thinking is to use the existing OEM E1 wheels with 215/45/18 Michelin Xi3s. I haven't found another wheel design (OEM or otherwise) to suit the E1 look. Plus it will save me some dough. The dealer is already throwing in free mounting and balancing.

Are you buying these tires from the dealer? When they wouldn't budge under dealer cost for Mountain Grey paint I tried to get them to do the same if I bought and brought my own tires in, but they said they could only do it if I bought tires from them for OEM installation reasons.

 

[dbtk]

I actually bought them on eBay and will bring over to dealer. Haven't decided now if to get separate non-OEM wheels. Scared I may damage the OEM E1s.

I've always been a fan 3 piece mesh rims like the Work VS-XX...think 3 piece mesh would look killer on the CLA. Any of the below


@dbtk - I think these will kind of solve that aesthetic issue of wheels looking smaller since these have a nicely defined outer lip

Thanks! Now, I have too many choices. Ugh. Thanks though!

Love it, being a 2 piece wheel it would be nice if someone can rebarrel it with a deeper barrel

Still waiting for my car, but I ordered it with the standard 17" wheels reluctantly because I do not like the ride nor hassle of summer only tires, even though it doesn't snow much here. I still cant escape the run flats, however.
