Yeah, seen those before. Money doesn't buy taste.

Though I think R230 S500 wheels look good on the S-class.

Woah!! I thought it was bad enough when they did it to the SL, but the S? Makes it look shorter, smaller, and more like the Geely knockoff, especially since they used the pre-facelift S.

With any luck the demonstrator will overheat from restricted air flow.

Hey... I hate that stupid car but I have to admit I am starting to like the SL500 rims on the S-Class... I need to photoshop those ugly lines of the body kit out and I want to see what it looks like, from what I can tell, it can look really good....
