I managed to get a good deal on another set of OEM w20s with new tyres after placing a cheeky bid on EBay. The thing is I can’t see many w222s fitted with these .Just wondering if anyone has these fitted and if you have a picture .Thanks.

It's nice to have more than one sets of wheels. I think they'll look nice. They make me think of razor blades though haha.

 

Check this thread, post # 530 : https://mbworld.org/forums/s-class-w...thread-22.html

 

Thank you look pretty good .Seem quite rare .

 

 

Damn they do look sweet.

 

Those wheels are beautiful. They were an option on the pre-FL w222 without the sport package; IIRC they were pretty expensive so you don’t see too many cars with them. They do bend, but so do all the 20” w222 wheels. Those are the wheels that were shown in the car promotions and on the display in “Settings” so you know the marketing team loved them!

 

Yes sir! My 2016, 9x20 front, 10x20 rear, 15mm spacers all around. Absolutely no issues in 2 years, they also balance very well, if you do spacers, do quality ones with longer bolts.

 

thank you , look amazing.

 

@Bigg Willi those spacers hit the wheel wells just right, got me shopping for a set now!

 

Those look great! I run these 'triple five-spoke' W221 wheels on my car; it's nice to have a little different look than everyone else!

 

Your car is fire Big Willi! A perfect w222.

What brand spacers are you using?

 

Thanks. I'm running these spacers
Bonoss, with NO issues.

I actually bought a set made locally here in CA first, NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. Broke off 6 wheel bolts total, had the car towed with only 1 bolt holding on the rear passenger wheel, so dam glad I looked.

 

Speaking of spacers, how tightly do those fit into the wheel bores? The ones I'm using have that geomet(?) coating and I have to hammer them into the wheel bore with my rubber mallet.

I say "hammer", it doesn't actually take a lot of force, but I do have to go all the way around with the mallet several times until they fully seat. I'm no expert on spacers, but wonder if maybe the raw piece was the right dia and then they added the coating and it became a bit too large to fit easily into the hole ...

 

Don't have to hammer mine on, but I do have to pry them off once seated.

 

They look like the wheels that came on my S600. I wouldn’t mind to have another set as mine are dinged up a bit. They were a $1270 option so says the sticker.

 

I have a friend that has a pre-facelift W222 with these wheels, they look great.
