Thanx bro, wheels are the 21" Brabus Monoblock E's. I owe it all to you . I'd still be kickin stones with my hands in my pocket if you didn't put me on to AAR.

 

No problem, from one impatient dude to another....I know the feelin. oh, just took off my rear wing, about an hour ago, it was a biaatch getting the 3mm and adhesive off the trunk but I did it and got that sleek sexy look back. Had to do it after seeing your car, the wing had to go. It just made my decision that more easier and I could sleep better tonight after it was done, with that said, I'm out. oh and the wheels are sick, you did good.

This is an incredible thread. I read all of it.

It was very interesting for 2 reasons:

a) I run 255/45/18 + 275/40/18's on my S350L W221 with Pilot Sport 4 tires
b) I drive very softly and actively avoid potholes
c) Without fail, every 3-4 years I am replacing rear subframe mounts, bushings all over the place, front lower/upper control arms, etc
[ all work at dealer, with genuine parts ]

I wonder what type of road surface is required in order to run 20-22" wheels without paying 10K a quarter to replace everything over and over.

I'm seriously considering if putting the 17's back on next tire-replacement cycle as paying for suspension rebuilds every 36-48 months is getting old.

 

17s what the originals were built with - and it changes the car to something far more normal - it looks terrible but drives so much better...

 

20's all day, Rides great! IF anyone needs, let me know

Jason,
Your car is a 4Matic correct? What size are your staggered wheels?
