Wheel ideas for a black 2009 Mercedes S550 4MATIC

Im starting to get bored of the look of my 2009 S-Class, I love it but I want to spice up the look a bit. It is black with black interior and a pano roof. It doesn't have the amg package. So far I was thinking about updated headlights/tail lights like the ones on the 2010-2013 W221s. But I am not sure of wheel ideas, I was thinking of putting some AMGs on but if anyone else has any other suggestions please let me know.

The AMG rims look the best on this S-Class model

Depends on the weather
You should add the facelift kit. That will change it up. Lower it, paint your calipers, 2010 side mirrors, definitely do tail lights - that makes the whole rear end look completely different.

If you stay factory get the S63 AMG wheels. However, most all the AMG's look great just make sure you get 20". I did see a guy put the 21" AMG's on his car for a M-Class and that was sick. I'm not a fan of aftermarket but if u decide to go that route look into the Vossens.

I like these, 2014+ OEM S63's with sport package/facelift. This particular example doesn't have the sport pack but you get the idea...

^ I've seen those and something about them on the W221 doesn't look right to me...I don't know, maybe it's the spoke design.

Thanks for all suggestions

I like and greatly appreciate all the suggestions. I think I am going to do a 2010+ AMG body kit and the 20" AMGs (S63 ones) like you guys posted pictures of. Anyone know the best place to buy? I was thinking ebay.

Let me know how the headlights work out...I'm still trying to justify 1800.00 for a pair of headlights.

Ok thanks, I'm going to shop around a little bit and maybe get a quote from the Mercedes dealership where I have purchased all my cars from.

You do know that if you get oem headlights it's going to be a lot more involved than just swapping the headlights, right?

Good point but, I personally just prefer oem over aftermarket.

Where are you located? There is a place in New Jersey. He has all the above shown Mercedes 20" Rim and tire packages shown above ranging from $1299 to $1599 with Brand New Continentals and lug nuts included. That;s where I am going when I get a chance to get out there. He even swaps over the TPMS to the new rims.

Search EBay for "20" AMG wheels" and you'll get a lot of results. Those S63/S65 styles are available for under $1k for a set of four from a number of vendors. I currently have these:







About to go to these:
