So i just pick up a set of 22 Menzari. Z04
5x112
22 8.5 F/R
off set +35

I got it for Dirt cheap. NEW. Got hooked up by the place I worked at.

Im getting it for 2100.00 CAD with tires brand new.
Basically the tires cost 1000CAD and rims cost 1100CAD

I was thinking Black with polish lip, but my boss decided to order the chrome instead. So since, hes giving it for my so cheap i wouldnt mind chrome also.
I just recieved these rims today at the store, and they look much better in person.

I know these are not high end rims like brabus or HRE.
Hopefully i can get these installed before summer.

I love these rims alot, I know there heavy and not 3 pcs. I got them for warehouse price, so im not complaining.
I bought these rims already, and dont intend to refund them, so if there are any comments b/c they look bad, ect pls keep them to yourself thanks.

Not a fan of chrome on silver. But if you're into those wheels, congrats. The best part of this? You can now throw on some AMG centercaps and keep the theme going! Keep stuntin' yo!

STi_JL

i would go with black, that was my first choice.

But I still dont understand why ur taking this personal.
i dont intend to amg center caps. and stop messing up my thread and make fun of me because i have amg emblem...

you are going to get opinions both good and bad... thats what you get for posting it on an open forum...

Im not sure how I feel about a 22" wheel on the W163... I havent seen enough to really know if I would like them in that size... as for the wheel... I like the wheel design, although Im not big on the chrome... The black would have been a definite 2 thumbs up I think.

Just because they are chrome doesnt mean you cant refinish them at a later date and time... just make sure to lower the ML a bit when you put them on cause you are gonna have major wheel gap... if its lowered I think it will look pretty descent although a little too much on the bling bling side for my liking

STi_JL

Ya i know, Personally i would love the black. I understand that i would have wheel issue and gap also.
My boss ordered the chrome ones instead of the black. and the chrome one arrived already, in the store looking at me everyday at work. It actually looks better in person than picture.

But i would definately get that style, I can probably order a set of black in if i dont like it.
Good and bad opinions are opened, but its just the sarcasm he was giving was just unecessary.

Ive seen 20,21, 22 on a ML before and 20,21 are jsut ugly(no offence to the others)
Im getting all sizes for the same price basically, so mine as well go big or go home.
My buddy has 22 on his rides with 265tires, and his ride was just more stiff and bumpy.

My boss is giving me 285 on the tires so its gonna look much wider.
Lowering would be the next step, but the winter here is longer than summer, so im still depending on that. Although i get NEW bilstein shocks for only 300 a set. from the distrubuters, i can always wait on that.

But i know for a fact that the style of chrome would look nice on the ML, unlike the other style are just too (gangster?) I like the sporty style and classy.
So i think i might go with chrome =\ I see ppl with CLS55 on chrome rims like my style and it looks hot.

thanks

pointman

Chrome on silver = classy?

STi_JL

Like i said, i would choose black if it was in, but since he is giving me the price of what he paid for, i dont want him to order another set in and not being able to sell it out.

STi_JL

Getting my rims put in tomorrow just in time for the meet on Sunday.
unfortuantly it is chrome.
I still love them alot. I got advice from alot of ppl and they told me to get chrome.
Hopefully it would change your minds if its on the car.

He gave me a great price. 2000CAD with tires. 285.

ill get some pics in soon thanks

STi_JL

Here are some of the pics i took with my phone..
not that great quality but ill get a better cam soon.
so i bought the 22 in chrome- (i actually like the chrome better IMO)
sitting on 285,35,22.. too late for any changes now.

All i need after this is Lower the car about 2inch with HR or Eibach and Bilstein shocks
space it out about 25-30mm HR
and FENDER FLARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is what i really want to know, What should I do first, they are both the same price.
Fenderflares or Lower?

500AMG1283

haha, im sitting here literally deleting what i keep typing. This is a tough one. Id say, lower it first

M-bENZ

slam that boy fosho.

Andy

STi_JL

Ya i know eh?
Both about the same price,
bilstein shocks are 300 f and r
lowering sporings are also about 300 f and r

and fenderflares are about 600 painted also ...

DAMN!!!!!!!! i think i might lower it first too.
the thing is that vancouver has complicated weather, so i hope i dont hit any snow storms in april =]

I think i saw Victorious ML320 on 22 and lowered with out flares, it still looks great..


My upcoming mods for sure are, Lowering ---->QUAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!---->flares----> Spacer---->

55fanatic

you might want to look into the mods you do a little more... the W163 ML doesnt have front springs... it gets lowered via torsion bars...

STi_JL

thanks for lettiing me know,.. ill look into it..
How much and what brand would make them that are quite decent.

55fanatic

I have H&R lowering springs on my 55... total drop is about 3" when all was said and done... after I took my roof racks off it looks like my car is riding about 5" lower then a non AMG Stock ML

STi_JL

Okay, i really need help about the roof rack situation..
i tried taking the roof rack off, but what did you use to cover the holes and stuff....

55fanatic

Vinyl cut to length... I used electrical tape for a while. that worked pretty good

STi_JL

do you mind taking a picture, just so i have an idea of how its done ect, thanks
