AMG 5 Spoke S 63 or AMG Multi Spoke S 65 wheels are my fave here . Honestly , why do we care about their looks is beyond me because you know we don't see them while driving aside from them being stationary

I completely accept what you and frostsdad before you have posted...and I just realized that I have the same feeling about my appearance when I put on my suit or jacket and tie for an occasion. I won't always remember which necktie I'm wearing without looking down to check it. So - I really cannot justify my comments or thoughts about what others might do with their S class beauties. I'm pretty sure I know what I'll wear to Easter church tomorrow and want to look appropriate, and feel that others will think I've chosen well when we go our for our buffet dinner afterwards. Now, what that says about me, I'm not sure, but I'm pretty well convinced it speaks of a degree of vanity on my part.
We all appreciate and are grateful for compliments regardless of what triggers them. It's a human trai
t.
(Due to my weakening vision, I have taken to using bold type as it's easier to check for ty[os.)

I polish only the toes of my shoes. I want to make a good impression when I enter a room, but really don't care what people think of me when I leave (lol).

I just changed my stock 19's out for the 18's in your photo @frostsdad , honestly the car finally rides like I want it to. I managed to find a set on eBay and they are straight and unbroken, something It seems is challeging with the 20"+ rims.

Also good riddance to the runflats!! One positive of running 4 tires the same size is that you get the full treadwear warranty from the manufacturer. Staggered sets only get 1/2 the warranty.
