thanks to tkracing!!!! He sold me them at a great price and they arrived extremely fast and as described! I attached the before and after pictures!

Looks great, I see your car has the AMG package. Did you or someone install the kit aftermarket?

Right on Josh...Looks great! Glad to see you didnt waste anytime getting them installed

Where can I get some of these?

hi, the car came with the amg package (sport package).

Troy, as soon as they arrived via dhl, i took it right to the shop to have them put on

love the "single tuner" theme on your car! *thumbsup*

are you going to upgrade the headlights too?

It looked funny with the AMG trim and stock wheels. Now looks right. Nice!

Looks clean, now headlights upgrade

yea i agree. time for bi-xenons!
looks great tho.

LOL, i know, it was killing me! The guy i bought the car from lived in DC so he didnt like the amg rims cuz it had such a harsh ride on the crappy roads there.

As for the bi-xenon...i know, i want to get them...but the ones on ebay are not authentic...i heard there was someone that sells them on the boards here...

clean.

Bi-Xenons and lower it! One clean S!

i would like to lower it, but dont know how. i live in iowa..and there are not many custom places around here that do that stuff. plus i dont even know what i need to do to lower my car.

Washer method! Took my $1.09 and 20 minutes.

the washer method? how is this done? is it safe? do you have a diy?

Can you explain the washer method? Thanks!

Check out thread https://mbworld.org/forums/s-class-w220/91797-using-washers-drop-car.html for lowering by washers

I love the rims...might do it myself but I am concerned about the ride. My wife has a bad back and we gave up a BMW 540I w/Sport/Premium package because of the ride. She loves the smoothness of our S500...if I lost the ride quality I would be dipped in siht for sure. Love your's though.

The rims definitely makes the car stand out. Good choice of rims.

Big "H"

Just went through the same thing with my '01 W210. Had changed out the OEM wheels for some 18" AMG's and had too much tire-to-fender gap. Bought some H&R Springs from the Tire Rack ($242) and had them installed at a local M-B independent shop: $332 in labor; most places are probably less expensive but I didn't want to drive any distance in case I had any installation problems. Very straight-forward installation. The only thing I would do different is, because I didn't know better, I stayed with the factory OEM spring pads, which were #2's front and rear. A #1 front and rear would have been perfect...

Thanks for the advice Richard, but the W220s have airmatics systems, and we can't swap it for other kits.

Sorry about that newton22; after I posted my reply I checked out the Tire Rack and Performance Products websites and discovered that it isn't as simple, and far more expensive, than I had thought.

Performance Products does offer a set of Eibach Springs for the 2000 S500 but I'm sure you already checked that out.

hey bud, the car is looking nice with the new wheels! Enjoy!

thanks everyone for the compliments! has anyone else done the washer method?

I can't understand why you want to take a car with legendary refinement and ride and either fit big wheels and low profile tyres to wreck the ride or lower the suspension to have the same effect.

As for wheels, you ain't even started! Check these out!
