CLK wheels
Hey Jimmy,
I think they are mid 90's CLK. I put a set on Stella and got by without spacers (barely), just shorter lugs in the rear.

good on other color cars. Perhaps it would be too much black I think, for my car. If I had a color, then black would be a contrast. With black grill AND black paint, I dunno.

Tire-Wheel sizes
Quote:
The wheels are 16", the tires are Toyo Proxes4 Directional 205/55R16. Never heard of the tire brand before. The ride is firm, but I like that. Tires seem quite sticky so I doubt they will last long. If they last reasonably well I'll buy Toyo replacements. The wheels BARELY clear the tie rods. So much so, I had to replace the clip weights with stick-ons. No problems other than that since I put 'em on. I almost got Ronals but the guy flaked. I sort of purchased these as a default, but have come to see that they are perfect visually imo, for the TD. I have not seen a pic of a better wheel for a wagon. Subtle and balanced. Almost like they were a factory option. I like "enhancements" that appear that they could have been factory options. I sort of stay away from mods that are not real subtle. I did like the small driving light for back up lights on this forum though.

But that shouldn't necessitate a complete designation change, for fear that somebody might not know we have a very manly turbocharger....... {figuratively speaking Ahani, not targeting you specifically}

Sure I see your point. But the designation on the back of my car is 300TD Turbodiesel. It's just easier to abbreviate the word turbodiesel with an extra T...
I don't feel strongly about it either way I just prefer too much information to too little information.
