I think this will be the 5th Gclass I have had over the years. I was contemplating a new 2020 G550 but didn’t want to pay $186,000 Canadian for the spec that they have coming. I ended up getting a great deal on a used 2016 G550 with low miles. It has extended factory warranty until 2022 and the color combo is perfect for me. I will be putting on my big 24” wheels that I had on my 2001 G500 Cabriolet as that car has mud tires on it now. I also have LED backup reverse lights, two 463 industry cup holders and a few more mods on the way. I would like to get a bigger 10.25” apple CarPlay screen installed and maybe wrap the roof and bumper/fenders black. Anyways here are some pictures, I should be able to pick it up this week.....
The 24’s don’t ride as soft as stock but that’s going to be obvious, I did buy larger than stock size tires to help soften the ride of the big rims. I think the tires are almost 33” tall. Handling they are better than stock as it has less tire roll but it will find the imperfections in bad roads and get pulled around a bit.
I got the 24” KMC rims and 305/35R24 Toyo Proxes S/T installed today. The tires are bigger than stock but the speedometer was perfect at 120kph! Also no signs of traction control lights on the dash so I’m happy. I know big wheels are not everyone’s cup of tea but this is the wife’s G and that’s what she wanted!
Next up on the list of mods are the 463 industry cup holders that I purchased from Jackwagon. I received them very fast and install was very simple and straight forward. The only hiccup was one of the cup holders was missing the coaster pad, I sent Jackwagon an email and I’m sure they will get me that missing part. Overall the construction is very good and they seem to hold a 355ml can perfectly.
They are expensive but I can tell you the quality is very good. They are made in Japan with excellent materials. I bought it for the 2020 G wagon which is trimmed with a silver edging that matches the inside aluminum trim very well.
