Nice! Much better than the wheels your were considering before. Stay classy San Diego!

Al benzo

Thank you

jwinn76

Looks great! Love how you de badged everything too.. Can you take a pic from the back? Trying to see how flush the rear wheels are to your fender? Also where did you get the wheels and about what did you pay if you dont mind me asking?

Thanks!

Yosheego

nice!

Looks good, you created a thread about rims and had everyone pick...

AND YOU PICK SOMETHING DIFFERENT, HOW DARE YOU?

Al benzo

With everything set and done close to 25 ... I will post the side pic ASAP its been raining so have not got a chance. I found a guy out in CA one on the only guys I seen that still had the replica wheels with AMG engraved on them I guess Mercedes is cracking down on that. The tires you pretty much know what they cost for Pirelli zeros ... Beautiful ride didn't change much at all. Btw I think I got the last set with AMG on them :0)

Al benzo

Sorry lol can you blame me I didnt think xix was the right thing to do last min and with nexten tires I couldn't do it

jweezy

I really like the way that looks, I just don't want to lose the off-road look of the SUV.

Damn your ML looks good, got me thinking...

BenzoBoi

Looks good...

The wheels look huge though...almost makes the car look small...

How do you like your 6000k Hids? Is it plug and play? How does it compare to the stock halogens or xenons? Congrats on the nice ride.

Al benzo

I'm Pretty sure no after market hid kits can compare to the factory xenons ... But at the time the lighting package was not out so I took it apon my self lol... Idk what you guys think but I painted the calipers black I'm kinda thinking repainting yellow what you guys think?

With the size of the stock brakes (no offense) I wouldn't bother painting them a bright color. They're just too small to really notice a dramatic visual difference. It also somewhat draws you into how small the brakes look with the 22" rims. Not trying to flame or be rude, just my opinion on painting the brakes.
You said you repainted them black, what color was the stock one?

jweezy

Not yellow. I think you should either leave the black or paint it a dark gray.

This is a luxury vehicle, you don't want to be mistaken for a ricer with a little bit of money.

Al benzo

Yea they was like a silver color had them painted black ... I just seen a nice x6 with the same kind of set up as mine black and white with yellow looked good. But very true I don't wanna Make it look goofy

jweezy

If you wanted to be a little different.

You may be able to get away with painting them white (with gloss) and have some logos of "Mercedes-Benz" in the Mercedes font. Of course all heat tolerent.

Al benzo

Nice i will check out that idea ...

Nice! Can you show us some direct rear and front shots, so we can see how fat they look?

One cool thing I discovered with this configurator is that if you point the ML directly at you and click on the different wheels, you can see how it changes the stance of the car:

EVOII_Racer

Al benzo

Thanks I will give me a few !

Whose rims and from where? Need some Winter wheels (not 22s). Looks good.

gplank

How is the ride on those 22? What difference do you notice in terms of roughness and jarring, as well as on the positive, like do you have better handling around corners, etc.?
