My '99 Mercedes-Benz CLK 430
FINALLY Got it sittin' on them dubs...
8" fronts, 9 1/2" rears..
The Lorenzo 20's...
Old wheels....
NEW Wheels...
So this is my CLK 430. This is my baby, and in a sense , my dream car. It's got a 275-horsepower S
OHC V-8, which boasts 275 HP and produces 295-pound-foot torque peak from 3000 rpm to around
4000. My baby has a three-valve design which employs two spark plugs per cylinder. It has dual-
zone
air conditioning, full black leather interior, 10-way power adjustable memory bucket seats, Mercedes'
innovative SmartKey infrared key and vehicle protection system, rich black and walnut woodgrain
trim,
and about every power accessory known to man. And this CLK is not a 2+2, but a real coupe, with r
oom and excellent seat comfort, all the while warming my ass with two heat settings.

This fucker is quick off the line, but when stomping on the accellerator at anywhere from 40-80mph it
jumps to triple-digits-plus-several extremely fast. My next step is going to be upgrade the smaller
headlights, and the fogs so that they match my 8000k's , exhaust, and
lowering it. Most of these will get done after I get my tax return check .
UPDATE: Put on Lorenzo 20" rims several months ago... Just been sluffin to put the new pics up with
'em on...but here they are. Now I just wanna drop it, smoked tail/headlights, and tint. Oh yeah,
and it's in the process of being completely repainted (a little bit brighter of a silver), and going to do
the top completely gloss black. Lemme know whatcha think! Thanks.
