Aand the "Big Kahuna" Pedersen will of cause decide who is normal and who is not? I think that is an essence of socialism.
4 old Benzes, wow, just like dictator in the third world country.
Wasnt there a dufus in Russia in the 70's who collected Mercedeses while being general secretay of what ever they had there?
You are in the good company Mark Pedersen. 4 Coupes, is that normal?

Hey buddy how about this. Although I'm not planning to drop my car I would love to see the pictures of your slammed and why not sharked as well w140. Sharking should not be available to BMW alone.
Looking forward to the terrific pics and thank you in advance.

I new all the S320 agony was a BS. Nice ride and unlike Pedersens in this thing you will be able to blow something off of something.

No IQ, no need to understand. I do think that it will be nesessary at least to double that remarkable Pedersen IQ to figure out the "4 Coupes" for anybody.

I can only imagine what mama Pedersen does.
What is he doing now? Counting the "4 Coupes"? I'm sure he needs your help, you will have to combine your IQ's to complete that task.

I have a better idea!!
We have Pedersen senior here(a.k.a. "4 Coupes"), cheesedi ck junior(a.k.a. Petie), ///S320 could pass easily for cheesedi cks brother-- -bring here Momma Pedersen and lets make "Swiss family Pedersen" the movie. I'm sure there are plenty of kids here that would be extreemly interested to see it.

I Have 19 and there perfect I love 20 but they just gave me to many problems with rubbing. 17 or 18 don’t really do crap for a car of this size, especially if they’re Grandpa AMG or Carrlsons wheels. . For some reason these wheels even look to be much smaller than there actual size. I lowered my car several inches and I must say it’s a world of difference in performance and tons more fun to drive. I bought H&R lowering spring and if any thing I believe it actually raised my car a bit. So I took 2 coils off of the already shrunken down springs and this is what I got. Probably lower than most would prefer, but after visiting europe it seemed that S-Classes were lower than the ones in this country. I never Had any issues with scrapping on speed bumps or driveways “believe it or not”. I have had my car this way for about a year with the stock shocks. But I am going to replace them with lowering shocks one of these days. The car Rides nice and smooth with 255/40/19 when you go to 20 you need at least 35 or 30 series tires. This is when you start to feel every little piece of gravel on the road. IF you can fit 20 and Barrie them in your fenders with out rubbing. I would say defiantly go for it. Good luck. This is what it looks like with about 3.5 inches lowered with 19s

Nice lowering Stefano.
Petie, i saw those carlsson wheels. Dude, they are great. But if i have such wheels in my neighborhood, they will be walking on their own at no time!
I think i will stick with AMG Mono IIs. What i will really do is that i will put 18X8.5 in the front and 19X8.5 in the rear with Yokohama AVS Sport tires.

That will work but remember you won’t be able to rotate your wheels from front to back. I do admit there is a huge price increase from 18 to 19s. 18s do have some economical advantages. Hope you have a low comprehensive deductible, Suck to have your car sitting on milk crates one morning. Send some pics of the lowering job when you’re done.

Also, if you get a dent in a front rim, you will get an annoying vibration in the steering wheel. This can be eliminated by placing that wheel in the rear of the car. But in your case, you won't be able to do that.

S320,
Go with 18" rims. They are a nice upgrade from the 16s, and the tyres cost about USD 100-150 each less than the 19's. The 18" ride is more comfortable than the 19, the performance upgrade will be great from the 16s and you won't miss the 19s because you never tried them.
