New wheels vote needed!
Hi Everybody,

I need your vote. I just got a 2004 S430 4matic. The color is the light blue(ish)/grey color. Sorry I don't know the name. I just got some links in the mail today and now I'm searching for some 20's. Please cast your vote:
Wheel 1, 2 , or 3. Forgive me as this is my first post. Hopefully I did it right with the pics. As for tire size 245/35's or 255/35's? I plan on replacing the center caps with Mercedes ones if possible on any wheel I end up with.

Take it easy on me with a comments please I'm a newbie.

Take some pictures of your car. A color makes a great different with your wheels. There's two greys that I know of: Flint grey and granite grey. Flint Grey will be gray most times, but will show a bit of blue on sunny days. Granite grey is more of a silvery-blue.

The wheels that will suit your car best also depends on the ride height, which you can lower, and if it has a body kit, like the OEM sport package, etc.

I dont think any of these three styles is the best for a w220, but if I had to pick from one of the three it would be $3

Some pictures of my car
This is from last week right after I got it.

I still can't figure out what the color is called.

i like wheel 3 too, but with a mess type wheel you'll need to run a pretty agressive stance to make it look right.

The first and the third look like Granite, but the second looks Flint. I'm more willing to bet that's Granite Grey because the blue.

I think as a "wheel" per say, #3 looks the best. But to be honest, that style of wheel IMO does not work for our boat. Just a heads up, it may look weird. But that's just me so haha

number three, but i would run 245/35 on front and 275/30 on back, and lower it to get ride of the wheel gap. Also keep in mind you will burn through tires like mad because of the weight and alignment of these cars.
