4 wheeled car.
The car looks ridiculously sick! I love the interior!! Was it factory installed or did you do an OEM swap?

Every time I step in my car...the leather just smell wonderful.
Not your imagination at all! The car is a few years old and the leather still has a great smell to it. Maybe because ours not only has different leather, but more of it (arm rest, door sills, glovebox etc...).

It's all factory as part of the $12.5k designo option when the car was purchased. The package comes with suede headliner and special leather and trim and a few other things. The only thing I changed in the interior is the addition of the black cell phone dialer cover that I bought from this thread... https://mbworld.org/forums/new-s-cla...pad-cover.html

Your car looks fantastic ........ I have a set of 21" HRE 943r and considering the Vossen. can you please let us know your honest opinion of the quality of the ride. You can send me a PM if you do not want to be honest on this thread.

The 3 piece wheels in the rain, simply suck and I am looking for a one peice wheel that does not cost an arm and leg

It's not about how many pieces make up the wheel, it's about the tire. Bigger rims mean low profile/less sidewall for a less comfortable ride and a wider footprint for hydroplaning.

If I didn't have this interior I'd be more inclined to upgrade to a newer model or different car but there's NO way I'm getting rid of this combo anytime soon.
Tiko is awesome, great guy.

Interior is AMAZING

As others have mentioned I don't think it matters how many pieces your wheels are is a variable in ride quality. I have ever only had one piece wheels on all my cars so I don't have anything to compare it too. I will say this, the car still handles really well even after I lowered it. Before I lowered it the ride was still almost like stock, just a tiny bit harsher since I lowered it. My girl was driving next to me on the fwy and called me to say how much the rims were bouncing up and down and the car was just gliding along smooth and not bouncing at all. I have pirelli p-zero's on there so I'm sure that helps too as opposed to an inferior tire.

Haha thanks, I definitely think so too


And Mike, I think we need a video/photo shoot from you guys to get my car on the official Vossen page to show off these wheels along with this interior

Thanks for all the compliments guys :-)

3pc wheels tend to collect water in the inner barrel when raining that works as extra balanceweights= whoke lotta shaking going on!! Ive had 4 sets of asanti they all shake when raining.. My savini 3pc didnt shake actually, but my newest asanti wheels for this season shakes aswell

I think what's wrong is that you're actually expecting quality out of Asanti and Savini rims.

Yeah my asanti i have on now, the 2tone paint is peeling, the rivets has rust on them, and there is beginning to come minor corrosion around the holes for the bolts.. They are 3 months old now and since i live in sweden it would cost about 1200$ to ship them to asanti for warranty because pictures wont do and they just rechrome and repaint them But monday my new vossen 1pc will arrive and hopefully all my troubles will be gone and i can drive my car again without headaches
