A few weeks ago we had a loyal customer bring in his friend who owns this incredible Mercedes S600. He was looking for some 22″ wheels and we fitted the Gianelle Puerto on this car in silver. Adds an subtle appearance upgrade without being overly loud on the S Class. Enjoy

Looks nice, 22 is a tad too big for my taste, i'd love to get those in 20s.

But that is not a 65, those are S550/600 brakes.
So if it trully was a V12 it was a 600

:r olf:

i have larger brakes in the rear and they are powder coated a different color. i bet i'm going to have you fooled when i put on my S95/ V18 TRITURBO badges.

do you think my larger brake rotors would look stupidly small if i put on 28" wheels to match my tri-turbo AMG?

i knew someone would find out eventually. but at least my neighbors and co-workers look impressed/speechless every time they see my tri-turbo. you know,the tri-turbo is just for now. the quad-turbo V24 badge is on back order. just wait till you see that one and then you know who is the boss

this is my friend's civic. he is the car/street racing expert (as you can clearly see from his awesome wheel UPGRADE). he told me that dropping a tri-turbo in my v18 mercedes is going to make all the other posers die from envy. it might cost an arm and a leg for him to custom fabricate one by combining a Ferrari/Lambo/and Bentley factory turbo (hence the name-tri-turbo), but costs should not matter for a piece of f/art like that. you know, i still can't find any fault in his argument. just waiting for my welfare check to clear before i give him the down payment for the epic project on my brand spanking new 2007 w221 (yep, i'm playing in the major league now with my big mercedes S class). will report back when it's completed. lots of pics to come. wish me luck
