Rolling on 22s
Mountain shot was taken on Kanan on the way back from Malibu.

The other shots were taken yesterday and tonight...

Enjoy!

What does driving on LA roads with 22's feel like? Is it a noticeable change over the stock wheels for everyday comfort?

Here are some extra photos I was playing around with for your viewing pleasure.

22s on a benz are not ideal but they look sooo good

Confort is still there but at high speeds there is vibration, since its only a 550 with ABC i use it for clients and shows. IF I was to travel then the stock wheels are ideal!

Enjoy!

Looks great.

I would paint the rest of the grill. The Distronic will still work through a little bit of paint. and loose the hood star.

I like it very much but I have mixed feelings about the blackened out chrome around the windows. Otherwise, it looks very good. I know you're happy with it. Enjoy.

Hey abbotte, what size tires do you have on it? Does your 22s effect the ride alaot? I also have 22s on my 550 and it went from smooth on my stock rims to really rough and shaky on my 22s.

I am running a 245/30/22 in the front, and 295/25/22 in the back.

Did you get the ABC option on your 550? I have the ABC and it rides better with a 22 than my buddies with a lowering chip on his 550 without ABC.

I found that at higher speeds (60+mph) I get vibration and the "shake" but I expected that going from a 19inch to a 22 on such a heavy car.

I also found that 22s are sometimes impossible to balance perfectly, so that affects ride quality a bit.

Did you include hub rings with your wheels? I added rings in the front and that helped vibration at higher speeds.

When traveling to San Diego, Las Vegas or San Francisco I swap the 22s and ride stock.

Cheers!

What width rims do you have? I have 9in the front with 245/30/22 and 10-1/2in the rear with 285/25/22 tires My front tires are same size as yours but there's not as much side wall as your. My front and rear rims is only 1in off the ground.
My car didnt came with abc. It rides real rough but rides the same at high speeds without no vibration unless i hit something.
