Pics of my car with new wheels

Hey there all,

After a few months, I've finally got my car looking as I wanted to look (still awaiting an amg lip boot spoiler.)

S320 cdi with AMG bodystyling and 21" Kahn RSX wheels

Do you guys think the car needs to be lowered a bit? I think it would suit it; but I'm afraid of the tyres rubbing.

Let me know what you think (apart from the fact it needs a deep clean)

I wasn't aware that there was a limit on how big the wheels can be on a car based on its engine size. But hey learn something new everyday

And the AMG bodystyling is direct from the factory.

What does it ride like on that rim/tire combo? I have been hesitating on going to 20's (from my current 19's) because I am concerned the ride quality with a full load of people will decline, so I can't imagine what 21's will feel like..

Hey there,

I actually don't notice any difference at all in the ride quality with these new wheels compared to my old 19"s. I was expecting the ride to be a lot harder; but I will definately be hard pressed to differentiate between them on a blind road test.

Oh how I wish a diesel S would be sold in the US.
