the Diamond white really pops in the sun light, pretty dirty today, but pollen season is almost over, it was an inexpensive option to add: only 795 if I recall

We didn't order our car, but bought one off a dealers inventory. We actually wanted the wheels you have, but settled for these. Now that we have them I have grown to really like them. But still toy with the idea of getting a second set of wheels (and tires) in the 19" you have.

Yep, came with run-flats, still has run-flats. We will probably keep these on until we need to change them, then look at the standard tires. If we lived in an area that had bad roads, would definitely consider changing tires sooner, but roads here in FL are pretty nice, very few pot holes compared to other areas that experience freeze/thaw cycles.

the five spoke have grown on me; they're a two tone metallic grey with chrome, easy to keep clean, but I'd rather have a nice fresh set of HRE's
I currently have 5 'extra' sets that I need to get rid of; told myself I would before I got more lol, that isn't including the two extra sets I have for my AMG

I approve.
Though I really wish they didn't allow that purple color ambient lighting. Let's just say my stomach turned a little bit. That old world interior with neon lighting just seems extremely clashing.
Exterior combo is pure class. My ideal W222 combo would probably be just like yours, with black interior to contrast the exterior a bit (plus, easier to maintain). I think you did smart by sticking with the 19's, considering the horror-ish stories of the 20's being harsh, which is a word that's completely unacceptable when tied to the S Class (and sounds worryingly like what I experienced and expressed with my W212's).
The 20's do look better fit for the cars size, but I am a fan of the 19's d5esign actually, as I love 5 stars, and M-B's especially don't fit so well with the "multi-spoke look".

M-B's have never looked great with multi-spokes, nor have they typically been offered as such. It's a look BMW popularized decades ago, and was shared amongst various Euro and "Imports" that were intended for more sporty appearances.
M-B's have always looked best with 5 spokes.

Amazing how he thinks his misguided opinions are facts.
You are right. Sorry.

Chip on shoulder much? Why are W222 drivers here so insecure? I'd assume the car is good enough to not resort to thinking that anyone who thinks multi-spokes aren't appropriate on a traditional Benz architecture is a "troll".
I think Hype's car looks great, what a troll.

I totally do not agree. I think this E63 multispoke pics show the best possible wheel for the E class....

The S looks best in the Multispoke as well.
It is usually a rare expensive option, even the C63 looks best with multispokes.
I also think they are forged and that is why its an expensive upgrade.

Wheels are all a matter of taste.
I prefer a 5 spoke look every time, but that's just my style on cars. Plus, easier to clean.

Hype, I just got around to checking out your new car. Dude, that thing is gorgeous, beautiful color combo. The only thing you need now(like I said in the past) is a 3 or 4 garage, lol.. Enjoy
