The S-Class above uses 21's. Those HRE's are also available in 20". Either way, they wheels are manufactured from 6061 aerospace-grade aluminum - the strongest you can make a wheel out of. I have hundreds of customers driving in Michigan with no problems.

Okay thank you I will keep you in mind! Please PM me with a quote of that exact setup in the picture but in bronze, like the other side of the car has.

WOW that's a lotta miles! Where do you go all the time?

I drive throughout the whole state 3-4 days a week for work, I’m a life insurance & supplemental health insurance broker. Even when I’m not working I drive a lot just running errands and/or for pleasure. Most of those miles the past year have gone on my 2005 VW Phaeton, love that thing... here’s a few pictures of it next to my S8 (RIP - Rest In Pieces, lol)

Hello Amazon guys!


Beautiful, the ride height is perfect. What size wheels? I also ordered the Amazon OBD-2 module, and I love it. So easy to adjust ride height.

?? Did you use spacers on the rims? When you lower a car typically spacers are added as well.

No I did not add spacers on my rims. But I am thinking to add 5mm spacer on all four corner soon.
Here is the side picture to show the rim's offset:

2018+ S63 Body Kit: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2018-2019-S...item420fa148b8

Headlights are plug and play, so body shop install when they remove the old bumper.

The body kit is installed by my friend's body shop in S. California.
