22" Custom DPE FORGED Wheel Delivered!!

Just Receive these 22" Custom DPE Forged Wheels! These Wheels Look Gorgeous! I just can't wait to get this mounted on my car!

Very Special Thanks to Michael at DPE wheel for hooking me up with these set! Michael is very knowledgeable on the custom fitment and were SUPER HELPFUL!

He also hooked me up with a set of 10mm custom spacer for the rear since I choose not to go with stagger fitment!

I'll Post more pics this weekend once I get them mounted!

Those look great.

What are the specs on those...offset, 10" or 9.5"

I have 22X10's with a +50 offset and did the 10mm spacer in the rear. looks great.

304/40-22's fit great and fill up wheel wells nicely.

Thanks!

The Spec on these are 22 x 10.5 and with + 40 offset.

I was told if i were to go with a set of 305/40/22 it would surely rub when making a full turn. So I decided to go with 295/40/22 by Michelin

I actually test fitted the wheels without the tire and would certainly love to get up to 20mm for the rear spacer. But I'll see how it goes tomorrow when I actually mounted the tires!

I'll post some pics by SUNDAY!

22 X 10.5 ET 40 is going to be way out to the edge of the fender flares on a GL550. On a GL450/320/350 it would stick out from the fender around be out 16 mm. They are going to look sweet on a GL550.

with the 305's the only thing that rubs in the fronts is the inside of the plastic fender liner.

the rears have good clearance.

have to agree. the new wheels off the car look great.

on the car, it doesn't seem to work with the gl lines

I'll have to agree with you. The GL looks better with a 5 star thick spoke design. I've only seen a few multi-spoke wheels that looked good on a GL.

Thanks for all the feedback! I really wanted to get away from the original 5 spoke look! I really do no like many of the multi spoke I seen around on other SUVs. Therefore I decided to go with the s10 for a more aggressive look!

what do you guys think about these?

22" Custom DPE FORGED Wheel Delivered!!-125.jpg
thinking about putting these on
MBZ 22x10 SILVER WHEELS RIMS 5x112 +50 offset

Its gonna go on a silver GL450. i'd really like to put 305/40s for that beefier look. not to mention more tire choices. do i have to get fender flares. or can i get away with it with that offset?

the MBZ wheel does look good...

I too like the 5 start look better...
I actually am trying to decide on a good choice for dedicated snows for m GL550 ...

will have to check and see if the MBZ comes in 20
