Talking The Godfather's S550 sitting on new wheels and closer to the ground! (pics + video)

Here we go ladies and gentlemen!

21" HRE M58 one piece forged wheels, in brushed aluminum finish, thanks to the good folks at Tag Motorsports in San Diego.

They are wrapped up in pleasingly surprising quiet Toyo T1R tires (255/30/21 fronts and 285/30/21 rears). They are also quite grippy!

Lowering completed by the use of none other than www.adjustableairride.com 's lowering links. They original and undisputed system out there! Forego the imitators, go with the originators! I've had them on my E55 AMG, and they have lived up to their great reputation.

Also see in the photos, Chapparone Auto Body's (San Diego) color matched sidemarkers.

Thanks to Schaefer Rod & Custom for the lowering links install and the debadging of the trunk.

And finally, eBay's taillights

Enjoy the Iphone 4 pics (some post w/ Lightroom). I know they suck, but I will have some pro photos taken soon!

















And the video:

You know, I thought about it, but the fact the trunk's edge doesn't have a sharp defined like, doesn't make a trunk lip look good to me. It's hard to explain, but I feel like it breaks the flow.

They will eventually be for sale, as I tend not to keep a set of wheels for long. So maybe you can own them too!

I had the metal tab on each of the fender, where the rear bumper meets the fender, grinded down, and on the passensenger side, I had to roll a bit of the fender in one particular spot. Other than that, perfect!

Been admiring your W211 E55 for a while now, one of the baddest out there for sure.

haha yeah I saw a music video of Rick Ross with "BOSS" on a Maybach and I thought that was too cool... so I tried variations and came up with BAWSS lol. Then I decided to buy bawss.com...but that was taken, so I bought it out lol.

These rims and stance make your car look amazing! Love the color matched corners- only thing better is a full corner light delete.
