Aftermarket wheels for GL450?

Has anyone found any wheels 20" or 22' that are available. I've contacted several companies with no luck.

I am in the process of looking for a set of 22's. I went to my guys over here in Vegas and there are several available. The fit is similiar to the Cayenne. I am currently looking into a set of Modular Society (www.modularsociety.com) 3 Piece rims. The set im looking at just came out so they are not on the site yet.

FYI we are in the process of building cathafer's wheels. We understand that the vehicle is brand new so we are going out this weekend to messure one. We will beable to provide the wheels and tires for perfect fitment for custom orders such as Iforged as well as the one piece wheels which are not as costly.

Has anyone seen an issue going to a wheel with a smaller offset? According to MB, the offset of the 20" upgrade wheel is 56mm. It is difficult to find a wheel I like with this huge offset. I found a wheel I like, but the largest offset available is 30mm. This means the wheel will stick out 26mm further than the stock 20's, or roughly an inch. I am concerned about the fender clearance.

Hey frank621, how much further do your Ragno's stick out as compared to the factory wheels? Did you ever find the offset of the Ragno's?

factory was 265, i went with a 275 so not much difference at all. it just has a nicer look and fills the well more. doesnt stick out at all, flush with the fenders. i apologize for not getting the offset, completly forgot!(i will)
