Thumbs down Ugly W221s

So far, thanks to the black wheels, this is the ugliest W221 I've ever seen.
Has anyone seen one any uglier than this one? If so, post it or describe it.

Have seen many, many similar ugly, rapper-wannabe S-Classes in places like LA, esp OC/SFV suburbs like NwptCoast/Calabasas....where there seems to be a preponderance of guys w/dubious taste....and/or who just aspire to be rappers someday...no one aspires to be a ricer, right???

Interesting that prevalence of aftermkt stuff on new S-Class is rather rare in places like SF Peninsula (esp City of SF or Woodside/Atherton), but far more common in areas like SF's East Bay suburbs (30-40mis across the Bay and a few bridges and tunnels), where the car culture and traffic patterns become very "3rdWorld aspirational"/LA-like very quickly....

Nothing repainting the wheels can't fix. Its still a stock S600. I expected to see some nasty body kit and fugly wheels.

I know what you mean. I realize it is only the wheels that are fugly, but man do they give this dream car a black eye. It amazes me how much impact just a set of wheels can have on a cars looks.

I could see them on a sportier mercedes. But on the S class. Its the epitome of class. The wheels make it look cheapy.

Every city in America, the whole world for that matter, has that type of group that mods cars to weird extremes. I hate it when they take cars and put 25" wheels on them that protrude 4 " outside the width of the vehicle and with suspensions jacked up nearly 6" higher than normal. They make any car stand out like the rear end of a baboon.
