I have a thing for 2-tone leather sport seats... but in a sedan, that would be waaaaaaay out of place, in a coupe... absolutely. with an S55, as long as its black on black, I'd be happy... (I would also like a little chrome accenting in the interior... I'm not too big on wood)

I 100% agree with MercManiac, you said it right man. The s55 AMG is beautiful, it does not need to have anything done to it. It has its own world-class uniqueness!

Don't worry to much about the weight of the rims. They are engineered to match the rest of the car.....if wheels go on that are too light you loose directional (inertia from the wt. of wheel) stability.

Engineered specifically for the S55? Not likely. If the main concern is performance, then we would all be using 10" wheels. However, aesthetically, the S class needs at least a 19" wheel to fill out the wheel well. Now, if he went for a 20" heavy-a$$ brabus rim, the unsprung weight would slow down the car at least a couple ticks. A forged 20" HRE is probably the best choice between weight / performance / looks.
