Totally sweet! I honestly can't decide between those wheels and the 030 performance package wheels. I have never seen the 030 performance wheels in person with a black car. I tend to think the 030 wheels look better with silver and the wheels you have look better with black.

Sweet ride, dude!

well i have never driven a luxury sports sedan before, but let me tell u that the acceleration and torque on this baby is sick! it seems to handle very well on corners as i feel the tires sticking to the ground.
air suspension is mad comfy. though the car feels heavy, but hell...its a s class....it's supposed to right?

the interior is ultra luxurious. the amg ventilated sport seats are extremely comfortable. i really like the lighting they did on the wood trim dashboard.

the 1 thing i would change about the car:
- make the Gear display (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,R,D,P display) at least 2x bigger.

If you run with the MF display in AMG you will see the gears (except at speeds below 5-10 mph. I've been using this all the time to get a feel for where the tranny is.

for some reason, the url is invalid when i tired to pull it up.
can you repost please.

btw...how did you come to the conclusion of 21".
i hear 22" are too rough of a ride...20" are too small?
