my R500 on 22's - take a peak....
here is my r500 with 22"x10" et50 amg style 3 piece wheels. tires are 265/40/22- I had to get the higher sidewall due to wife 
otherwise I think it would look better with 285/35/22s.
Now I just need to get it star lowered to remove that ugly wheel gap.

they are replica amg wheels. i know the importer who brings them in from china. he makes replicas of mb, bmw, porsche and audi wheels. they buy oem wheels, mold and cast them in china where there is no intellectual property rights, so they are exact replicas- only thing they are prob heavier than stock, but costs hundreds less.

they are silver. I don't like the chrome look. I don't know any European manufacturer that OEM chrome wheels.
since I have airmatic, the comfort setting is not noticeably affected. In the stiffer setting, I do notice a slightly harsher ride. The thing I notice the most is that it takes a little more effort turning the steering wheel.
