Those are some badass looking wheels.
What wheels are they and why are you calipers red?

MAYA MRS's in black diamond and calipers were painted red just for the visual effect because they will be changed to some brembo's

Thanks for the compliment!!

Not sure if I'm going to lower I want to but not sure if the benefit is worth the issues

Very sharp wheels! Smart choice on the 550 too, I don't think the 63 is worth the extra dollars for MY2007. If you want more speed, my guess is that aftermarket mods will be available soon to boost the power to at least and perhaps beyond what the 63 has.

Lowering does improve your handling and really helps aesthetics. I started getting a lot more comments on my wheels when I dropped the car. You should be able to lower your 550 at least 1.25" without any detriment to ride quality or risk to your suspension. The AMG cars can only go about 1" without hardening the ride a lot since they sit lower to begin with.

The Renntech module is a great way to go since it is fully adjustable up to 2" and has a bypass setting if you need to bring the car in for service. Also I think it is the cheapest module.

Wheels look verrry slick....not a fan of the red calipers, takes away from the sport-classy look IMO
