thanks for the nice comments fusion its easy to say all those things but to get the money for it is a different story lol. Im looking into buying one of those grills with the big mercedes sign on the front does anybody know where to get those? Like a website i can go to. Parick i got the wheels with tires for 900 bucks. A relative of mines owns a shop and he is in business with alot of the mercedes dealers around the area so he got them for me for a low price.

wow. pretty sweet deal! anyhow congrats on your s class purchase.
I too just purchased a 2003 s500 and was considering upgrading my rims. I'll probably wait since I have brand new tires on my stock 17s.

I just purchased the same wheels for my 03 s500 4matic.

Are these going to have that much space around the wheel as much as the pics above? That's odd since it doesnt look that way with 17"s
