S55 w/ new Asanti Wheels
Finally got the wheels in for my '03 S55. I went with staggered 20" Chrome Asanti (AF 123)-9.5 in rear/8.5 in front.
I also added the CL style front grill, chrome headlight covers as well as chroming out the 3 piece mesh in the front spoiler. I've never seen anyone do the mesh before but it looks killer.
I've got on order a lorinser reardeck spoiler and rear tailight chrome covers. After that I'll complete the car with a Renntech ECU/Pulley upgrade.
Feel fee to give any comments or suggestions for future modifications.

That is quite a bit of blingage! lol
Car looks pretty good, although I personally may prefer the grilles in black. I would vote for a lowering module to complete the package

Thanks for the comments. As far as the bling is concerned, I'm on the younger side (31) so I'm still about the flash as well as the performance. I guess that is the cool thing about our MB cars, we can choose to dress them up or keep them stock...either way they are great performance/luxury vehicles....

Wheels and grill look great! So do the chrome headlight surrounds but.....the chrome mesh? Personally, I don't like that chrome mesh.......I could live with it but it's not really for me!
Post some pics with the deck lid spoiler! I'd like to see that! It won't be chrome, will it?

Nice...I prefer the larger CL grill than the one you have. I have it on my E55 and it looks more aggressive...imo! Still very nice, though...enjoy the ride.

I really like the rims. They go well with your car.
I would vote for lowering too. I like the mesh, although IMO it'd be nicer in black. And I don't like the grill much.
But to each his own.

I thought I had the larger CL grill. The one on the car is actually the 2nd grill I bought b/c I too didn't like the smaller star. Where can I find a larger CL grill?

Good Luck.
I didn't see a grill for S on their site, but e-mail Jerry there and he might have an idea where to get it.

Nice car man - i wouldn't try and do too much to it after the rims. I am not feeling the grill and definitely won't like the upcoming chrome tail-light covers. It's a bit too tacky. It's an S man - you got the dubs. leave it!

Rims: SICK, just a little lower tho.
Grille and headlight rings: Not my style, but if you like it then more power to ya!
Mesh: same for that too
