megaoctane

Congratulations on the new car.
What color white is it? Diamond white metallic or standard white?

hyperion667

diamond

megaoctane

Thanks.
Locking to lease a W205 AMG int and ext. Can't decide on color. It's between white, black or iridium silver.

hyperion667

my first Benz was black; never again
second was Iridium,
third was/is Iridium
and the latest: white

megaoctane

Yeah tell me about it
Had obsidian black 210, then iridium silver 211, last was obsidian black 212.

Most likely I'll go for white

hyperion667

the Diamond white really pops in the sun light, pretty dirty today, but pollen season is almost over, it was an inexpensive option to add: only 795 if I recall

megaoctane

Where I live, polar white standard is free.
All other metallic colors are approx 1400USD
Designo diamond white metallic is 2500USD.

I love the diamond white...but I am just a little biased.

hyperion667

looks great, I just couldn't go 20's
did it come with run flats?
I do like the multispoke however

DaveVY

Yep, came with run-flats, still has run-flats. We will probably keep these on until we need to change them, then look at the standard tires. If we lived in an area that had bad roads, would definitely consider changing tires sooner, but roads here in FL are pretty nice, very few pot holes compared to other areas that experience freeze/thaw cycles.

We didn't order our car, but bought one off a dealers inventory. We actually wanted the wheels you have, but settled for these. Now that we have them I have grown to really like them. But still toy with the idea of getting a second set of wheels (and tires) in the 19" you have.

hyperion667

lucky no freezing


the five spoke have grown on me; they're a two tone metallic grey with chrome, easy to keep clean, but I'd rather have a nice fresh set of HRE's
I currently have 5 'extra' sets that I need to get rid of; told myself I would before I got more lol, that isn't including the two extra sets I have for my AMG

K-A

I approve.

Though I really wish they didn't allow that purple color ambient lighting. Let's just say my stomach turned a little bit. That old world interior with neon lighting just seems extremely clashing.

Exterior combo is pure class. My ideal W222 combo would probably be just like yours, with black interior to contrast the exterior a bit (plus, easier to maintain). I think you did smart by sticking with the 19's, considering the horror-ish stories of the 20's being harsh, which is a word that's completely unacceptable when tied to the S Class (and sounds worryingly like what I experienced and expressed with my W212's).

The 20's do look better fit for the cars size, but I am a fan of the 19's d5esign actually, as I love 5 stars, and M-B's especially don't fit so well with the "multi-spoke look".

LovinMercedes

What?

K-A

M-B's have never looked great with multi-spokes, nor have they typically been offered as such. It's a look BMW popularized decades ago, and was shared amongst various Euro and "Imports" that were intended for more sporty appearances.

M-B's have always looked best with 5 spokes.

TomS

Seriously, please stop quoting the troll. I only ever see his posts when someone quotes him. He is so obviously trolling so why indulge the kid.

LovinMercedes

I thought maybe he was turning over a new leaf. Really, how stupid was I for such a thought.

Amazing how he thinks his misguided opinions are facts.

You are right. Sorry.

K-A

Geez, such a sensitive bunch. I didn't say the car is ugly, I said I think 5 spokes are superior to multi-spokes and it's a FACT that Mercedes has rarely, if ever used multi-spokes.

Chip on shoulder much? Why are W222 drivers here so insecure? I'd assume the car is good enough to not resort to thinking that anyone who thinks multi-spokes aren't appropriate on a traditional Benz architecture is a "troll".

I think Hype's car looks great, what a troll.

drsaab

I totally do not agree. I think this E63 multispoke pics show the best possible wheel for the E class....

https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...50-moving.html

The S looks best in the Multispoke as well.

It is usually a rare expensive option, even the C63 looks best with multispokes.

I also think they are forged and that is why its an expensive upgrade.

K-A

Wheels are all a matter of taste.

I prefer a 5 spoke look every time, but that's just my style on cars. Plus, easier to clean.

RobbieRob

Hype, I just got around to checking out your new car. Dude, that thing is gorgeous, beautiful color combo. The only thing you need now(like I said in the past) is a 3 or 4 garage, lol.. Enjoy

hyperion667

thanx RR, it's a boat man


stay tuned: going to wrap it soon

SnakeDoctor

Brushed aluminum!

RobbieRob

I held off on my wrap for now, I just can't decide on the color I want. Matte white pictures of it might be up soon though.. After I lower(next week) it of course.
