I personally have never seen a S-Class with a wind deflector.

I'm not sure why one would need a wind deflector, those are the black looking things on the end of the hood right?

I thought those were for bugs?

Apricot, have you decided on rims yet? I purchased the Bridgestone S-03's for my 18" wheels from Luke. They should be great.
What is a wind deflector?

its march here in CT and I just got in a small accident and the car has been in the shop for a while waiting for a new AMG bumper, the weather is real bad at the moment so I have not begun looking for rims, i suppose when may comes, i will have those on, the wind deflector is for the sunroof the black curving thing.

I got a set of Lorinser LM-5 replicas 18" with Bridgestone SO-3's. Maybe has 1500 miles on the set.

PM me if you are interested.

First of all, I would not use them for winter. Definitely warm weather tires. Secondly, I was think more like $1400, but we can talk if you are interested. Let's take it off forum. PM me if you want to take this further.

I loved the ride. Wife wasn't too happy that I spent the money. They really are amazing tires. Had them on in August for about 4 weeks. Havn't had the time to put them on eBay or post them here.
