Thanks, the wheels are Vertini. Rotary forged with a custom gloss finish. The shade of the wheel changes as it is exposed to light. It can look from a silver to a bronze type to almost all black depending on the light hitting it.

And judging by the parking lot it appears you have used them nicely.��

S320W220
Hi!
i owned a mercedez benz w220 s320 model. i have replaced the solenoid valve and compressor (brand new) almost 8 months ago. since last days i have noticed the car is sagging from the rear overnight and sometimes it is not sagging at all. I am sure there is a a problem with the airmatic component. But the question is if the leak is developed in the rear shock due to which the car is sagging then why the car is not sagging at all when i park the car on vehicle raise mode.
its making me very confused now which component to replace, wheather i needs to replace the valve block once again or both the rear struts.
Car is not sagging at all at vehicle rise mode.
Please help out!!!

Thanks everyone, the most important aspect to me is that it rides even better than it looks. Even with the fact that i up sized +2 on the wheels.

And i didn't do those donuts in the parking lot.

SICK! Wow your car looks absolutely STUNNING. My hat is tipped to you!

Where did you source your front e63 bumper, the fitment looks spot on. Also, which front lip? I have seen a variety of e63 and V style "look" components that once installed look cheap and of poor quality. Yours seem quite good!

For people rocking 20s in their W212: How's the ride quality?

I've had 19s and they ride rough. Then again, it was in a Golf R; different platform.

It definitely worse than 19"
But, It's not too bad if you have Airmatic.

I was going down size to 19"
But, 20" looks better...so I just ordered another 20"rims...Lol

It's rougher than stock, but I don't mind. I also ride motorcycles... so anything is more comfortable than a 1" thick foam pad and a hot engine between your legs on a 110+ degree, 100% humidity day.

Damn! I thought you'd found the right combo that looked alright without a ton of extra body work! Bummer! But nicely done! It looks killer
