swapping rims and going non runflat! Pics!

so I have the factory 19" amg split spokes w almost new michelins, but love the look of the 20" multispokes. So I just picked these up 20" staggered went w the continental dws 06 in stock 245/275 size and new sensors and caps. waiting until weather isnt 10 degrees out and then ill prb swap them onto the car. whats your thoughts?

Hope they have the same offsets as the original AMG rims but they will definitely improve the look of the car.
For the W222 the 20” rims are the proper size for the body style

ride quality will improve as well. Enjoy!

My wife just LOVES it when I bring auto parts into the house—NOT! I especially like the Christmas Villages you used to “season” the photos. Nice wheels, hope you enjoy them.

I did exactly the same. Same rims and tires. the DWSs all all season so I run then year round. I saved the 19 stock AMG rims and when I trade in the car I will put them back on.

I traded my last one in with the 20" reps, didnt make a difference. If I like these on the car ill prb sell the stock 19's as i know myself and ill never put them back on.

wheels are on, gotta load a few pics... look great. Nice and flush. While i had the wheels off I cleaned up the rear calipers popped the mercedes caps off and sprayed them Hi temp dark gray. Looks perfect and clean again. Fronts are still like new. Sensors I guess sinced right up as i didnt reset anything.

Proper setup The ride height on W222's is better than the W221 so I think there is no need to bother with links...

Niiiiiice. I think all you have to do is gloss black wrap that last part of the pano roof so it's all black. That'll cost you about $50 and look super sleek.

Or, better yet, wrap the main part of the roof in white!

Yea these are the rims i wanted.... may still do another set for summer. Most aftermkt wheels dont look great on the car so upsized stock usually wrks for me. stock s63 split 5 spokes in a 20" wouldnt have been bad either.

I don't think AS3 come in the sizes you need for the 20" wheels. I chose Bridgestone high performance all seasons for my car. I have always liked Bridgestone tire because they have very stiff sidewall and the S class is a heavy car and the stock wheels were made for Run Flats, so they are in most cases heavy

I love those Rims on that car .... I have them on mine as well Where did you get yours? I am looking ahead in the event I need to replace one of mine due to the crappy roads in Ohio.

I got them from a wheel place local to me, brand new and an offset of 35mm all around so they are flush at all 4 corners and no need to run spacers. For an extra 50.00 they delivered to my house. So cant beat that.

I also think the wheels look great, but being the practical guy that I am, I look at all those spokes, all those surfaces, all those tight, little corners and think what a pain in the *** it will be to keep them clean.
