Just put new shoes on my S550. I really like the small lip in the rear, with the concave center. The wheels look much larger than 22's. Wheels Boutique did an amazing job. ADV1 knocked it out for me.

Specs:
Advance One
ADV5
22x9
22x10.5
Brushed Center
Chrome lip

Rubber:
Pirelli PZero

Nice clean look, but with such an open design the rotors now look tiny (especially on the rear) ? How's the stopping power?

Hey first I wanna say GREAT LOOKING CAR. white with the pano and sport package is the package I'm looking for or silver sport with the pano roof. How much did it cost for the rear roof spoiler, rear trunk spoiler, and how much did you pay for the car if you don't mind me knowing.

How is the ride with the 22" rims. I'm a big guy 6' 250lbs and I'm scared the bottom of the car will scrape the ground in Brooklyn lol if I put 22's on it

I wasn't referring to the AMG package, just the badge. The car does not come with an AMG badge as they are reserved for AMG cars such as the S63 etc. The badge was put on by a dealer or someone else, just a little pet peeve of mine...

Jeeze, the more I see your car (mche) the more I really like the look, well done...

I agree who knows that dealer may just have stuck in on there. Then again we are in Miami, the home of C300's with C63 AMG badging. LOL

Your car looks AMAZING, another great job by the WB. They also installed 21" HRE 943's on the wifey's white s550

Regarding the AMG badge. You can most likely pull it off. It is probably installed with double face tape. I debadged my E350 (nothing on the trunk lid). Very very easy to do. I used a PLASTIC vinyl sticker installation blade. Once the badge is off, I used a little wax/cleaner to get ALL the glue off. Should not take longer than 15 minutes.

Good luck

Insisted my dealer take the badge off Sport prior to delivery. My thought is if you don't have the motor you don't wear the badge.

I have a confession to make and I hope you don't get upset. I'm going to make my car look almost like yours. I'm in love with your car. It's like it calls to me at night when I sleep. Maye I will switch the color to silver. But your car is AWESOME with the mods!!! Since I'm a big guy I may do 20" white/silver rims.
