Links in, test fitted wheels. Tires go on next wee as well as amg grille.

It's going to look great. I like the idea of taking a placid, non-aggressive color like Pewter and giving it the full on AMG appearance treatment because you don't see it very often vs. the black, silver and pearl colors. It adds a level of sophistication. I put a full AMG body kit and fresh wheels on a Pewter S430 I had and I loved the look.

Mike, please post up that pewter! I love this color haha. I'll be selling these wheels soon btw guys..

Mike5215

Ha! Any excuse to post the old S430. Great car. Paid $21k for it in 2012 with 34,000 original mileage in flawless condition like yours. Literally a little old lady car, no AMG sport package, little 17" wheels. I ended up doing a full AMG body kit, a drop, and staggered 18" replica wheels.













Mid-project. After the drop, replica wheels and AMG side skirts but before I'd found the AMG bumpers.





I like those wheels you've got. What size are they?

hemmissey

Wow. That interior is cherry!!!! Looks really good. I love those years. My wheels are 21" m510s From Avant Garde.

Mike5215

Yeah, that was called "Stone" on the 220's and it was the lightest interior they made. Looks great but a nightmare to keep clean. The black on the 221 is a lot less interesting but so much easier to maintain.

hemmissey

Mike should I do matte black wheels or do u think it will offset the color?

Mike5215

I'd stay in the metallics...silver, hypersilver, machined & polished, etc to work with the silver undertone in the paint. Love these Vertini 22's...

hemmissey... Looks Amazing, but you might want to put tires on it sooner than later. Otherwise, you might damage the wheels if you hit a pothole.

Mike5215

He's running ultra low profile tires, man. Those are 295/5 R22's. You gotta get real close to see 'em.

BTW, loving the car with the spacers. I still haven't decided on a drop. I like the gap in the back, but the front is about an inch high.

ramos226

Drop that puppy.. Just swap the fronts if your happy with the rear. Or.. you can always strap one of your in-laws to the hood.

Mike5215

Yeah, but when the nose comes down the tail wants to come up. I may do a STAR drop since I'm not looking for a lot. Did you get the rear camber sorted out?

ramos226

Got to the mb dealer this AM, Asked to speak to the tech before leaving it to have the "Camber Bolt Kit" installed. Tech said their kit would only slightly tweak the camber & would not make much of a difference. I kinda expected that response. I opted to save my money. Might go with that sponsor who posted on your thread. It's a little pricey though.. We'll see..

hemmissey

@ramos226 haha. 21" tires cost more than the wheels wtf. Lol

ramos226

True That... Those wheels are cool.. Are they staggered?

hemmissey

Yes sir. 21x9.5 and 21x10.5R
