When I went to tirerack.com, all they offered for a mercedes S class was the exhausted AMG line. How boring.:o

I'm going with the "conservative Republican" wheels from the 2003 S600. They are 18" and weigh 1/3 of what the AMG's weigh. They are a magnesium alloy.
I can't drive around NBA style, so these will do well with little unsprung weight.

Replica wheels=trouble. Way back when, I swapped the 16" wheels for 17" replicas of the sport package wheels on a GS400. The car never drove properly again. I had constant trouble with vibration that wouldn't go away, etc. I was going to get different wheels for the car but ended up selling it for a 540i/6 instead which drove better than the Lexus even with NO vibration.
