Now parts list started to pyle up.
TPMS 433mhz sensors $175
black Carbon MB Center cap $30
Chrome Conical Lug Bolts 20pc spline type $75 (they are basically 20pc of wheel locks)
Tires Nexen 305/40/22 $550
Mounting $80
Akebono brake front Pads $80 (just keep brake dust to almost zero)
Alignment $80 (keep tire wear minimal)
So Estimated. total for the wheels and tires will be. just about $2000.

nice cant wait to see pics......do all GL s take a 433mhz TPMS does it have to be genuine....is there any programming .....

Staggered wheels - you need to be careful not to end up with different diameter tires. This rewuirment might limit your wheel/ tire combo choices.

Tire diameter should be the same on all four.

Im not absolutely sure but I looked in http://epc.startekinfo.com
got this current part no for my vin. a0025408017 which was 433mhz.

I think when it all install I have to reactivate tire pressure monitor via the dash and steering wheel button in one of the menu in the information display.

Off Topic...what browser are you guys using for EPCnet and startek info?

It worked on my windows pc a couple of months ago but no dice now, cannot figure it out.

IE9 or 10 with the latest JAVA installed works. I think some of the web site component didnt work a couple weeks back.

with those wheels it makes the GL look more X5'ish -

nice looks mint.....sits nice with the body..

fkong777

Thanks. These are basically S Class wheels. 22x9 +37, 22x10.5 +41

Looks nice. Those Mandrus wheels must be carved from the core of a neutron star. You just about need to upgrade the brakes to stop the wheels from turning.

fkong777

Yes they are pretty heavy.. The center and front lip is extremely heavy. However the rear lip is really light.

I had to paint the rotor and calipers because they are so visible now. The OEM metal finish is extremely ugly.

Fkong777' nice ride. I am looking at the 22" replicas for myself. What was the ET, with and tire size were u planning on installing? We're they staggered? Any info will help. Thanks

fkong777

My Mandrus are 22x9 +37, 22x10.5 +41 basically if you get the 22" S class staggered sizing it would look similar to my setup. I ran 305/40/22 tires on all 4 corners.

the AMG replica's specs are 22x9 +35 and 22x10.5 +35

Wheels update.

Do you have a pic from the front or back angle showing how much they poke?

fkong777

not the best pictures but just here is a couple

Did you lower it? It looks lower than the norm. If you did lower it, what are you using? Lowering module?
Thanks.

fkong777

not lowered. The bigger wheels probably gives it a lowered illusion.

jperez3460

Did you order these for the S550? I checked the Marcellino site and the only offer staggered fitment for the sedan.

fkong777

Yes they are S550 spec wheels. Since they are staggered. 22x9.5 and 22x10.5 Most wheels listed for the GL is the same width front and back.

UDWANIT2

they recommend same wheels for 4matic staggered screws up the gears/plates on the 4 matic ….if u had your rears all around will look better cause of the deep concave…. i like that AMG style a lot it came 19in factory for my CLS ..
