2007 S550 Sport Flint Grey

Hey I am new to the Posting, but wanted to share my new S550 Sport.... It has 20 inch AMG wheels and AMG Sport package w/exhaust.

Let me know what you think... Next week I am lowering it about an inch. I will let you know how it goes....

Very nice car.
So those AMG style wheels are 20 inches tall?
How wide are they?

Wow I was going to say the same things. There is something slightly garish about those wheels on the elegant S-Class, but the color is fine as is any color on the new S it seems.

Nice car! I don't know about the wheels though........I think it looks OK! I'm not thrilled to death with the wheels that Mercedes offers either. They need to introduce a wheel that is sporty but. not to much bling! The 65 wheels were great! In addition, I saw a pic of the 2007 S65 and those wheels are cool as hell!

Just my opinion......nice looking car though! Great luck with it!

Nope, I like the wheels... love the chrome. I'm going for something chrome and sporty, too, when mine comes in...

Yes I prefer the 19" AMG wheels that are on Jack's, less bling but great looking car.

Beautiful car...enjoy driving it. I don't remember seeing that AMG on my exhaust extensions...will have to look closer. Were they standard or are they after market?

Your car looks great. Any car with the AMG package should say AMG on the tips.

I just think putting old body style (220) wheels on a new body style (221) is weird. The new 65 wheels would look great on it though.

Hey, you have a great car there and a great dealer as well. Who did you deal with at Laguna Niguel.

Are those really 20" wheels? I was thinking of 19"s for mine but now it seems even 20"s look kinda small

"Ghetto" looking? Those rims do look smallish to be 20's. I like the carlsson rims myself.

those rims aren't available as 20in as far as I know. i only know that jack's wheels are available as 20in. these must be 19in.
Oh, and the chrome is as nice as the rest of the car.
