Wheel decision

OK, I am on the fence about a new set of wheels for my S550. I can easily obtain a set of S65 20'' wheels with tires but I do not have an AMG package on my car so I dont think they look "right". I have also been burnign up the phonel ines with wheelautohaus, Derrick at D2, and wheelexperts. So far I have only really been drawn to a set of automonde cinq 22's that have brushed face, chrome lip and black accents:



I am not wanting my car to look too blinged out but also like the custom look. My other choices are Vellano VSH's or Modulare M4's but both have to be ordered and will take 4-5 weeks. Gimme some input. Will thses look classy and custom or just hokey???

I don't like the automonde cinq you posted. The finish on it doesn't scream deep and expensive like mine do. The chrome looks cheap and hokey for some reason. I think the M4 is too much for an S and that 5 spoke VSH is over purchased. I like that 10 spoke VSO from Vellano that a few of the members here have. Classy and stylish.... perfect for an S IMO.

Also 4-5 weeks seems pretty long. I purchased two sets of high quality custom made 3pc forged rims for two of my cars and received them within 3 weeks.

I really like these wheels..

I think some company called "& Swiss" makes them I don't really know. They are called "SW-1" More info and pics at modularsociety.com/

edit:


oh yeah and the HRE 943R wheels are pretty nice.






found those pictures of the 943R here on MBWorld.
