Need some more opinions on my S65 HELP!

Ok, I've been looking for a month or so for the right wheel and I think lee2375 found one that I love.

https://mbworld.org/forums/s-class-w221/182696-just-picked-up-2007-s550.html

In case anyone doesn't know my car, it's an 07 Black S65.

I am dropping it off at 702 motoring tomorrow afternoon in Las Vegas. I'm pretty sure these are the wheels I want to get, I'm just not sure if I should get 20's or 22's...

I need some feedback.

Also, while it's down there I wanted to do a Renntech or Kleeman system on the engine as well. What are your opinions on these 2 systems?

I like those wheels as well......they are pretty sweet for Maya. Go for the 20 inch, your car will handle better with 20's than 22's.

IMO I would lean towards Renntech, talk to treynor he has used both Kleemann and Renntech on his cars and has decided to stick with Renntech.

He has some of the fastest cars on this forum!

I would go with the exact same setup (22's) that Peter posted in his thread. Go with the Kleeman lowering module as Peter did as it would not look right if it is not lowered. As far as engine mods, I would go with Renntech.

I comprimissed on mine and got 21s and I am very happy. Just make sure your dealer can replace tires. Mine won't touch the tires and rims. They told me their machines will only handle a 20" wheel. I guess that tire / wheel warranty they sold me will be useless.

"Lee 2375" has some of the finest alloy wheels I have seen on a Mercedes S-Class. I will go for "20" ("21"s, maybe, if I can see them in the flesh!) There is the aesthetic question of "22" alloys not "clearing the wheel arches" the way they should. Which is why I will avoid going down that road.

I have 20s on my S600 wish I went 22s. If 21s is an option I would do that.
