Benzoboi S550

Hey guys! Some of you guys will know me from the W211 E55 side of the forum. I recently bought out the S when the lease was over for my parents. I figured that I was going to sell the 55 soon (It's up for sale), so I picked this up. Going to be driving this around for a few years while life goes on, sell the 55, and look forward to getting back into an AMG in the future.

The car is a 2010 S550 in Diamond White. The wheels are 20 inch HRE 847R's that I recently picked up and had them rebuilt with a custom step lip and increased to 21's. 20's look small on the car and I didn't want to go with 22's so I went for something in between.

Big thanks to all my friends @ Benzworks and everyone else involved for helping me get the setup I was looking for. It took A LOT of work but we all got it to work. I think it came out great! A big thanks to my friend Kyiv as well for taking the time to shoot the car and doing so on such short notice! I'm sure most of you guys down in socal will know his work.

21x10.5 HRE 847R w/ black centers and a custom step lip Rear
