The dead live longer. In the case of the brand with the three distinctive letters, this wise saying is completely true, because even after so many decades on the scene, these wheel designs are still extremely popular. The iconic and coveted rims are available from PP EXCLUSIVE from Wahnwegen.
The CL of the C216 series converted here is a real world premiere, because for the first time ever, a 21-inch crown jewel rim is spinning in the wheel arches of the large coupé. The highlight: the wheel is absolutely custom-made, as the set on the luxurious CL does not require spacers! The wheel was installed on the front axle in 10.5×21 inches with a 4-inch outer bed and Michelin tires in 265/30R21 format. The rear axle is fitted with 12×21-inch Crownjewel Alus with a 5-inch outer bed and 305/25R21 tires. In addition to the wheel set, PP Exclusive also gave this CL a proper lowering by means of a lowering module, which was easily installed using the plug-and-play method. The lowering can be set individually using the steering wheel buttons. The 21-inch Crownjuwel wheel is now available with a strength certificate!
Of course, the crown jewel wheel is also available in a smaller size, as installed on this CLS C218. The wheel arches of the beautiful coupé saloon are perfectly filled at the front in 10.0×20-inch with a 3.5-inch bed and at the rear in 12.0×20-inch with a 5.5-inch bed. PP Exclusive fitted Hankook tires in the sizes 255/30R20 and 305/25R20. As with the CL, the chassis of the CLS is also brought significantly closer to the asphalt surface by means of a lowering module. A TÜV parts certificate is available for the 20-inch Crownjewel to ensure trouble-free registration.
