Need your help with wheel selection
I always like the rim on the new S/CL63. Always thought it would look awesome on the W220, especially one w/ AMG package.
The only thing is I rather see w/ my eyes of how the wheels actually look in the car, before I am commit to buying them.
Finally got a chance to see that myself, on the way to work this morning. I stopped by and took couple pix. CelPhone pix, so not very clear, but you get an idea.
I'm quite disappointed though, it doesn't look as good as I thought. Could it be because the owner set the suspension too high ? or because silver color of the car and the mag wheel don't match ?
For reference, I'm posting pix of my car w/ OEM wheel & chromed. I always thought that it would look even better with W221 S63 wheels, but now that I've seen it, I'm not sure. What's your take on this ?

Disappointing
For several months I was looking for a pair of those new S rims for my 2002. I have the same color car as the pictures and agree that I am also disappointed in the look from those pictures.
I am even more disappointed that I found out today that the 20" OZ OperaII rims I just bought probably won't fit my car. Strange how the guy I bought them from claimed he had them on the same car as mine.
