LOL I wish I could make you happy by posting tons of pictures of the girls here, some of them are very hot, dark brown hair, bronze skin, perfect bodies, sensual lips and wild animals' eyes with passion in them.. but I have a rule, never take pictures of other women - you would never stop.. it reminded me of my friends friend who is a photographer and married for 15th time .just can't resist.... so I don't collect photographs of other women because there is a real danger of losing concentration

For a half year I had AMG type VI 19" which look great but unfortunately, our roads are sometimes so bad I could not afford keeping them. Also, going often to underground garages to park where lanes are made of high concrete can be painful with nice wheels.
Sold them to another forum member with a CL. I then switched to 5-spoke 18" only to change them in two weeks to these 17" girly wheels.
Never looked back since, these 17" are so light (similar to AMG 19") that the ride is nice, effortless, and more comfortable (which in S is REALLY desirable, I don't care about looking better).
Needless to say, downsizing from 19" to 17" made the car almost invisible.. I don't draw too much attention now, let's say the car looks like a better airport/hotel car more than a whip I have also debadged.
The other thing is that if you damage 17" the wheels, you can easily buy new ones almost anywhere as they are on stock thus it is practical.. I can imagine damaging AMG wheels and waiting 3 weeks for new wheel+tire..

This is my previous setup:

Real men don't need big rims to prove their manliness ;-)

The car looks very balanced and classy.

Armadillo..your car looked great with the 19's...I also had the same AMG's on my S550..I swapped them out for a set of OEM multispokes which I had powder coated..I can understand why you need the smaller rims though...

Haha, you made me smile that is funny and should be carved in stone.

There is simply no difference between the sizes in terms of performance anyway (could be with ABC equipped cars, talking about Airmatic)

Post a picture of your car please, I'm interested in seeing your color + powdercoated OEM wheels combo.
Yeah, sometimes you get to rural areas and then you just lift up your suspension and drive with no regrets




Sometimes you feel almost like being in this video..
