S73 wheels, help!
Well, I have decided on the wheels I want for my 600. They are found on a lot of the S60/70/73 AMG cars. Here's a link to a picture: http://i.imagehost.org/view/0377/1161250410155742

I need to order these when I go to the MB dealership on Friday. But I have no idea what they are called! I cannot find it anywhere on the internet. If anybody on here knows what these wheels are called it would be a lifesaver! Or even better if anybody has the number off the back so I could have them order it from AMG for me.

Thanks!!!

Thank you so much!!! The benz dealer here can still get them (for $2k per wheel). So yes very expensive, but I knew what I was getting into when I bought this car. Thanks again!

You sure you dont want to go 19s? The S72 actually came with monoblock aero II 19s.

Its the S70 that came in 18s



I wish i can find that euro trunklid cheaper...

19s is a thought... I do want a bit of tire left so the ride isn't too harsh after I install the wheels and suspension. Do you have any other pictures of the 19 inch Aero IIs? Also, I just figured I'd ask if you know if the Aero IIs come only 8.5 inch width or do they make a 9-9.5 inch wide? How much have you found the euro trunklids for? I've done some digging but I haven't come up with anything yet..

$2k for a wheel is a bit steep but considering the S73 AMG cost 440,000DM when new $2k per wheel doesn't seem so bad. I just bought my lifetime membership on Benzworld so I'll be posting up my issues over there soon.

Youre welcome. and if you notice, the tire size makes the 19s look like 18s. so theres still a lot of tire wall and with the right model tire, its not going to be harsh
