Who has the Brabus S550 in Century City?

I was walking to my car in the parking structure of my office and saw this parked there...

Any info on it? It is gorgeous!

(Too bad I didn't have my real camera on me, only my crappy Treo, the pics don't do it justice)

He has SSR GT3s from the looks of it. The wheels on the S550 are Brabus Monoblock Is maybe? I know they are old school Brabus.

Nice pics btw, even with a camera phone.

thanks man!

you are correct, I have SSR GT3's on my car and the wheels on the S550 are one-piece Brabus Monoblock VI's (which looked to be 20's).

White S Class

I saw a whit 07 S Class at the mall yesterday. I wanted to take pics but I forgot my camera. I was so pissed off . It was a white 550 with AMG. It was the first time I seen one in person driving around. I the white didn't wow me much. I prefer darker colors. But its still a beatiful car. Who ever was driving it had the windows tinted very dark, so you couldn't see inside. It also had the dual exhaust. Is that just for the AMG package? I would appreciate if anyone could help.

They don't need to be one-pice wheels. The new sclass gets multipieced
Monoblock VI that are screwed from the inside like on the BRABUS Maybach

Sport package comes with dual exhaust (single pipes). Standard S550 does not.

The AMG option does come with dual pipes. I also have a white one with black interior.

Thats what I couldn't believe either when I read that the Maybach
gets Multipiece rims from BRABUS and I didn't see any rivets.
But I read in some magazine that they are 21" and the rivets are
on the inside. No clue whats the reason for that.
