Go ahead and replace the G500 badges with G55 badges while you are at it. You will get laughed at in the street with G55 wheels on a G500/550. Real Mercedes fans will call you a faker or as the young kids say "Poser" or "WannaBe" Bad idea in my opinion, but if you dont care what others think do as you please. There are plenty of aftermarket wheels out there that would compliment the W463, HRE 990R series being one of my favs.

And doubt you ever will. The key words in my post were, 'most any' or not all. Fitting AMG packages to enhance ones car is one thing however, actually changing the model designation is something else.
