Haven't seen Linh in a while but heard he got a silver CLS and that he took it to your shop.

Actually, I was behind a silver CLS63 near Silver Creek Country Club and the guy took off down that road and almost hit a car that was turning right onto it and I think it was Linh. LOL!

So your the mysterious M5 that is racing people down the hill. Just joking.

Did the CLS you were following have my license plate frame, and a roof spoiler on it? I think if Linh seen you, he would have mentioned it. He must have not been paying attention. Tooo busy trying to pull away from the crazy M5 being driven by the king of the hill.

He knows exactly what your car looks like. You can tell its Linh's because his front brakes look hella huge, and his car sounds pretty mean.

It was a few months back and the car was stock so maybe it wasn't Linh; depending on when he modded his car. I came up to the car from behind and he just took off so I followed (naturally) but let off when he almost had that accident.

So what else did he do with his car?

Nice list of mods.

I have a friend with a black CLS55 that has the VIP VR05 which looks very similar to those Vellano's on Linh's car. He also has the Carlsson lip. Actually he know Linh too. His name is Calvin. I think I asked you if you knew him at that meet a while back but you didn't.

HA! I don't think he's doing anything else to his car but I'll let him know about your shop. I think Darwin did all the work on his car too.

Anyway, sorry to have hijacked this thread.

Back on topic....

How about the Interad Turismo wheels: http://www.interadwheels.com/wheels.htm#SlideFrame_4

I really like them.

What a coincedence. I am supposed to be getting some of those Interad Forged wheels at my shop within the upcoming week or two. I will keep you posted on my honest feedback once I get those wheels.

Please do. I like the design but worried about the weight. I've had some email exchanges with them (Brandon) and he said they weighed a 20x9 wheel and it was 25.9lbs. Not bad but actual weight changes based on offsets and specific fitment. The samples that you're getting in, what fitment are they for?
