The AMG rims (21x10) come in two styles, not sure what the second one is called but its the one I ordered, IMO it looks much more aggressive than what most people are stuck with due to dealer not telling them of the other option.

the 2 options in canada for 21 amgs are either the new style twin 5 spoke silver ones or the old style ml63 twin tone, graphite/silver 5 spoke also-
they both look awesome- i didnt go with the 'other' option that folks arent informed of, just cuz i personally liked the new style and preferred all silver- i love my other ml63 rims, himalyan grey and silver but they look dirtier faster but trust me they all look awesome- its really your pref; i will say- when clean the two tone stand out more- i was actually told the other day by a relative that they like my two tone amg rims better than the new style
on the 550...

i got arctic white- i think Diamond white is a warm/nice color, but to me it seems a little feminine (no offense to any guy out there). I personally Dont like the way the color shade changes with different reflections of light. I think it suits smaller sedans/coupes real nice, not feminine at all for those, but for a truck/suv, may be a little too much diamond..

seems like a new/learning driver-
not that i'm a formula professional but heck i've been able to drive through 8 inches in my previous 4matic sedan with NO issues (not kidding)- had a second of 'stuck' feeling up my drive way but all it takes is to create a little traction ground and essentially you'r home free. Was also stuck in loose desert sand once in an MB rear wheel drive sedan, the rubber burned for sure, but hey, again, a little bit of traction to one wheel is all it takes.. I'm surprised there was minimal steering effort in this entire video- to pull a GL out of 'only' that much snow- slightly embarrassing....

2. Any 4 wheel drive vehicle can be "stuck" once it stops......no traction, you don't move. The real beauty of any all-wheel/4 wheel system is to keep you moving...... I've seen this happen so many times. Guys says "let me show how my 4wd works! " Takes it out into the snow and STOPS.....then can't move!!
3. If that vehicle had the off road package, he could have lifted it up and freed the undercarriage from the snow underneath.....may have helped.
