Is that a AMG badge on the back?? If so, your gay, and so is that 440 HP claim. 60 HP from an ECU on a 550?? Not even Carlsson can do that. 
Oh and congrats on buying some very heavy wheels for an already very heavy car

The length of the word looks too long to say AMG. I bet it says Carlsson.

I have to agree with you. I'm not even sure I would use one of those wheels as a spare after having a flat tire. I can't decide which would be more embarrassing , having my car towed or using one of those as a spare.

So, this car costs close to a S63. I bring the S63 up and not the 600 as this car sports an AMG badge.
But if you come up next to a S63, dont you risk being a bit embarrased (having two exhaust tips, no AMG brakes etc).
Especially living in Orange County where S63/65 are quite common

Having them chromed or turned into brushed aluminum would be my suggestion.

wow, leave the poor rich guy alone
I dont know about the US but in Canada the dealer puts the AMG sign when you get the package and about the weight of the car...who cares if he puts heavy rims on a heavy car? big ****ing deal if you dont like it then dont do it?

These go well beyond personal preference, these are criminally tasteless.

In my defense...
I appreciate your concern, I dont feel threatened by your remarks, nor
do I care to waste my time trying to rationalize with with people with
poor taste.
As I said before, its ok you dont like the wheels, i wont
loose any sleep over it. If no one wants to pay for them I will just throw them out and buy the other set. I dont need the 2500.00. Ya feel me??
This whole car is gone once the 2010's come out with mid-cycle refreshed
front end next summer anyway.
I bought the 550 thinking a 5.5 0-60 would be fast enough. So after driving it so hard I went through a set of Pirelli Pzero Neros in 5000 miles I found out that I really wanted to go faster and drive harder since it handles as good as it does. By that time it already had the cosmetic mods and I figured might as well finish it off with 60hp. It does a 5.0 0-60 its fine for now, its only .4 tenths slower than a 63
