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.

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.
