Nice!
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!

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)

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?

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

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.

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:

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.?
