Looking good Jason. Time for some 20's! Love the difference they make on the car. Smoked side lamps too.

Looking great guys! I love the face-lifted models too

I've just purchased a 2010 example and I can't wait for it to arrive (shipping from London to Tanzania). It's gonna be a long 4 weeks.

Cool pics. And Mike, those look nice. I wish the style of the AMG 19's, were avail in 20", but those are very sharp.

Not at all... No rubbing and it actually can be lowered a little more. I love the car and I get a lot of looks and questions about the wheels. They are custom and I have only seem them on one other car.

Thanks Mike. This is such a great car. I had a brand new loaner ml350 that i just really didn't care for. I have a small vibration in the front end rims at around 60mph but may just decide to live with it. I'm tired of having the car at the dealer and the back and forth.

Yeah, those wheel offsets seem pretty low in the pics. Looks awesome but can cause problems. (Been there. Not fun) Looks like you're running 20" S65 replicas. They're usually +35 offset although I have seen them in the "normal" +45 offset.

Is it a low-offset wheel or are you using spacers?

Those are +35 offset - they are the rims I complained about in another thread. These are Style 815 from powersheelspro. They are very good looking and quality seems good. Will see how they work out long term. Powerwheelspro has been supportive and they offered to send me the same wheels +45 offset. I'm tired of the back and forth to the dealer, but I should probably change them to +45.

Yeah! I forgot that was you. Take the 45's just for the front (presuming the backs are okay) and if those smooth out you can add a thin spacer (5mm) to put you at a 40 if they look too tucked in.

The silky, effortless ride is what makes an S Class special. Don't surrender!
