Maybach 57 RIM suggestions?

Friend of mine has a maybach 57 and wants to get some rims. What rims have you seen that look good on the maybach? Or, any suggestions?

Thanks.

Rims?
If your friend wants to change wheel size thne he will never find proper tires for this heavy car.
Tires which are installed in factory are custom made and their weight rating much higher than truck tires.
If underated tires are used then car will unsafe to drive.

I hope this helps.

The roller is a moving 'bling bling' machine. If I wanted something that flashy I'd be rolling in a supercar instead.

That's what I was thinking. Some people feel they always need to take things to the next level. The maybach speaks for itself, why detract from that?

i modified mine 'cause the wheels i thought were too small for the sporty cars.. the maybach on the other hand is not a sporty car and doesn't need flashy wheels or sporty wheels.. it's drawing enuff attention already, why need extra? the car is designed well, the wheels suit the car, why mess with it?

Ajayz is right. Those first ones do suck. And the top picture makes the 62 look like a pickle.

I'd go with something like Auto Coture on the maybach or some tasteful HRE's. The wheels that come on it are FUGLY
