New rims....what you think?

Just put these on my S430, didnt want to go with 22'' but got a hell of a deal($600) for these so I figured I throw them on to see what It would look like. I know most of you guys dont like over size wheels on W220 but I think because there not chrome they dont look too bad.......I need opinions, keep or not?

I had 22 before too but went with 20 staggered. I think they both look good though.

OMG.. THe bolt that sticks down on top of the tire is called the upper control arm support bolt. That's what you shaved. Let's see.. 22" rims,,, Contol arm fallin off on the freeway....... 22" rims...... Control arm falling off n the freeway...

Good luck....

Oh and the rims get a big NO from me also... Even before i read the part about shaving the support bolt.

I don't think those would be used in a rap video. Not blingy enough..

Rims are OK, but not my taste.

Shaved it up about 1mm, as far as being retarded NO! Stick to what you know best and I'll do what I know best. I work on tracker trailers did it before on trucks never had a problem. So dont WORRY about it! Its SAFE.

Before you comment about the trucks, no not ONE has laid on its side because of any work I did on them.

This was just to get opinions, like "yes" "no" "maybe" not to get bashed!

I hate the fact that some of you guys drop a S-Class like if it was a Honda Accord or Civic, but its your taste and your car not mine. So I dont give a f*** what you do to your car, if I dont like I'll just say "Nah, not my taste" not all this extra **** some of you guys are posting.


I put this rims on because I got them cheap and Im ready to sell the car. Over here in Philly area its easier to sell a car with rims then it is plain. Now if I was in the suburbs then, HELL NO I would put the rims on and try to selll them.

Seriously, I totally agreed with you man. People should not make fun or disrespect others because every person has different taste and liking or disliking about certain things, should go little easy on others.

No don't eat it up, raise up if you need to. Some guys on here are rather intense and **** at times. Hell judgemental even. All that really matters is if you like them.

Me, I said the rims were OK, but not my taste. On that bolt, if you know what you are doing then OK.

Like I said before, 22" on a W220 is not my taste I rather have 20" staggered or even better 19" AMG's but I got a hell of a deal on these 22" so I said **** it let me put them on and get a feel for them. I dont like the way it rides and I would'nt recommend them to anyone. I think in person it dont look to bad, I get alot of attention with them on in the city so I figured someone will stop me and give me a decent offer.
