Once again...nice work, Peter! That's the first time I've seen the brushed finish on a silver car...definitely awesome. What is the difference in the look of the brushed finish vs. the silver finish?

Why thank you Alex!

The brushed looks awesome. PERIOD.

Seriously, the brushed finish just gives the wheel a little something extra that the silver just doesn't have. Kind of like "silver polish" vs "silver paint".

Thanks for the clarification, Peter. Hmmm, 20" 540R's in brushed/ polished with a phat 3.5" lip?! :eek: Maybe if I can find takers on my Work Rezax II's.

You could try to sell them here, but you know how that goes.

Ah, the best thing about the "Red" brakes is that they ACTUAL PERFORMANCE BRAKES. Not painted "performance painted stock" brakes...

Peter, looks nice...don't see too many Benzo w/o dish type wheels...nice to see some mesh on a Benz...

I'd have to agree, these Brembo kits are becoming more popular on these Benzes all the time. I have the silver GT kit on the CLK, the E may get something soon also.
