PS: Jason - you would think after spending all that coin on wheels you'd know it's Lowenhart - not Lowenheart - unless you got some nice knockoffs...

Hey, listen to Teztra or Sportlich430. Erick, the ONLY options you have are the following: Carrlson (spelling?), AMG, Brabus, Lorinser, Lowenhart, AMG , or HRE. These are the ONLY wheels that will compliment your car and allow your "S" to maintain its classy look. You need to look for wheels that are elegant and aggressive at the same time. I would personally go with the LM5s, but I am biased and they are very common now. The AMG 2-pc wheel is very nice with the rivets like the LM-5, but they dont come in 20s. Definitely take a look at the HRE line. They make some very light wheels and look very classy and you dont see them on too many "S" models, Try to go against the grain so you dont end up pulling up to a red light and see your exact wheels on another car -- That would f*** up your whole day. Take your time on your decision cuz its a helluva investment to end up wishing you would have gotten other wheels.

Tezta, that looks very nice!!! Those are the new Lowenharts, right? Erick, you definitely need to look at those. Also, the wide style rims like those always look nice while the car is moving. Sweeeet pic though -- definitley.

20" Chrome LM5's the only way to go, cheapest out of the ones you mentioned and probably the best looking ones on an S-Class, never liked the look of HRE on a big body car. LM5'S DIPPED IN CHROME PLEASE!

Medici, I believe they are the new LDR Lowenaharts--probably in 20s. They do come in 22s that will go on the 745, but I dont think they come in 21s. Being that the "S" model maxes out with a 21-and thats even a stretch, they would have to be 20s. But we will wait to see if Tezta has an answer cuz they do look a little larger than 20s.
I dont think the Chrome LM5s would be the cheapest of those mentioned. Im pretty confident they would be in the upper tier-price wise-maybe even the most expensive out of those mentioned. But I agree they look the best-no doubt.
