Finally got the summer wheels on the car

after lots of waiting first for savini to make the wheels, then ship them to my friend in ft lauderdale because Savini wont ship overseas, and then to me in Sweden, its 3pc Savini SV25S XLT series in gloss and mattblack with a chrome lip 9x22 front +33 and 10.5x22 rear +39 with a 5mm spacer to clear the brakes in rear, 245/30-22 front and 285/25-22 rear Pirelli P-Zero tires

Hmmm that actually doesnt look that bad, do you know which company makes it?? Im putting on the s65 facelift frontbumber next month though so maybe they make it for the facelift??

I found the tips on the german ebay and then got them welded on to the brabus exhaust think i payed about 350euro because i got them without tax and some dealer discount:-)

I like pre-facelifted more, because it looks so much more aggressive. But I’m not sure how it will work with your drop, do you have good roads in Sweden?

I agree with you it looks much better on the pre facelift, it looks to "bolted" on, i like it when the car looks like something more oem:-) the roads are quite good where i live but i use the inside button to raise the car on a daily basis to get around when things get to tricky hehe

I see, can I suggest something else, here quick photoshop of your benz with less agressive lip and pre-facelifted bumper but with W212 E63 LED foglights. Second picture is the actual picture I took of those LEDs on S63 which I saw few months ago at local dealership

Sedoy its looks pretty nice with the e63 bumber but if i start to extend the front there will be way to much air clearence from the sides and rearbumber so i cant leave them untouched either and one thing leads to another and before i know it im working with fiberglass all day long for a month and i just dont think that will fit a car like that

That's true, sides and rear look a bit uneven on those Japanese pictures.
BTW, what happen with Sweden in world hockey championship final...?

The ride is looking good man, I just took mine off. The roads in the Tri-State area are terrible. I bent one of my wheels about month ago and now I'm debating if I want to put them back on or clean up my 22" two piece wheels and put them on.
