AMG wheels on S430

Hey guys,

installed new AMG wheels on my S430. Cost me only $300 after I sold my stock wheels for $250 (cost me $550). Heck of a deal. The ride height is perfect IMO and I really like how it transformed the look of the car, enjoy.

Ebay, this guy was selling it, he barely spoke english. I think he just didnt' realize what he had. The tires are decent, i should be able to get another 2 months out of them before i replace them with something else.

those 19's do look hot but this was merely a case of once in a lifetime deal, I couldn't pass it up so i wasn't picky, upgrading to AMGs for $300 was all that mattered to me.

I wish there was spring pads on these newer air suspension cars to make a drop easier. What you think about updated tails & headlights? just leave as is?
