Lightbulb I need tint & rim ideas for my '09 S550 4matic AMG

Hey Guys,
I live in NYC and an 2009 S550 4matic here is not abnormal, and I want mine to stick out by adding rims and a tint. Any ideas on a model rims and what level tint (or what ever its leveled by from lightest to darkest) could make it jump from the norm? She's pearl white btw. (lol) Pics of the model rims would be awesome

I know you guys are professionals and I admire your knowledge of mercedes.
Thanks!

PS: The real reason why I want this work done the the S class is because my girlfriend though she saw me with another girl. It was obviously another guy with the same car. So I wanna prove her wrong, haha.

Your right white S class's are a dime a dozen in our neck of the woods. As far as wheels I would recommend lorinser RS8 in 21". I think 22" are too big for new york roads.

I'm sure there're plenty of other W221's riding on Lorinser wheels (or Brabus,Carlsson,HRE,etc,etc...) If you really need to be unique then you're looking at generic wheels with custom paint (even though the quality's bad but with so many W221's riding on 21/22 wheels its hard to be unique especially in NYC/LA area)

Hey, are those 20 or 21 on your car, how are they holding up on our terrible roads? I am thinking 20's but was scared off because of the roads, many of my friends riding 20 and up always complaining about bent rims.

They are actually 2-piece 22s, so they're a lot stronger and resist more dents then the 3-piece wheels. Truly the roads in NY, NJ, and Philly are crap and when I had my 22' 3-piece Asanti 128s I had to repair at least two of wheels within a year because of potholes. I plan on picking up another set of 3-piece wheels before I leave the Tri-State area and head south.

The best wheels on the 221 in my opinion, especially on a white w/ pano are the AMG perf. package wheels but they are like 6k if you can find a take off set. If that is out of your budget their are replicas that look very similar but the windows of the wheels aren't quite the same finish as the AMG ones. You can get gunmetal grey or matte black or all silver. They run from 8-1200 depeneding on size.

I have to ask though, your girlfriend must have been in or atleast seen what your car looks like prior to these changes you want to make (shes your gf, right?) so how do you think changing your car after-the-fact will make her think it wasn't you? Just curious how that was all gunna work there. Haha, GL
