2016 S550 W222 on 22" Forgiato Fondare ECL's

Hey guys, a few months after my purchase I decided to pull the trigger on some wheels. I decided to go with the Forgiato's because it's a bit meaner looking and wasn't the typical set of wheels I see everywhere. I went with a pretty aggressive offset and lowered the car using Ghost Links.

I have a couple subtle mods I'm still deciding on but I'm not sure yet. Forgiato is supposed to do a photoshoot soon so I'll update with some pics shortly. On the W222's with the air suspension(not sure about the hydraulic) sport suspension lowers the car maybe .5-1 inch or so which sets the car to a super low stance. Pictures were taken on sport suspension mode and of course its easily adjustable by the links so I'm still in test mode with this setup.

Thanks

In my case, even the stock wheels would get me in trouble if I caught any curb.

Those wheels want to cut concrete. Built in blade. Pretty cool.

Super old thread, but curious, what tires did you run on these?
