looks good!

out of curiosity...how come you didn't put 21" or 22".
I just traded in my '05 S55 for an '08 S63.
I was running 20s on the 55 which I thought looked great....even took off the wheels for 63.
However, I'm beginning to think that the 20's may be looking a little small since the new body is larger.

I was going to put 22's on, but I spoke with 2 owners in Salt Lake that have 07 S65's that both had 22's and swapped them out for 20's...

Both of them said it ruined the ride and it made a huge difference as far as perormance goes with the 22's...

I had 22's ordered and both of these dissatisfied owners talked me out of it..

Thanks for the tip!
I won't have quite of a monster like you...but I think I'll stay with 20's then.

What about 21s...did you look into that too?

oh...forgot to ask you...tire pressure monitor system.
are the sensors still behind the rim?
did you end up transferring it over to your new rims?

reason i ask is because i had to do it on my S55.
purchased a set of rims at first and found out later that it was not compatible to have the sensors tranferred.
only mbz approved wheels like lorinser have that indentation where the sensor can be mounted.
long story short...i had to go and buy a set of lorinser.

'03 G500, '13 G63, '17 GLS63,
Not feeling the wheels at all. Otherwise, props on the rest of the mods. If you're dead set on 20's, stick with the stock wheels which are damn good looking as-is. If you're gonna go with 3-piece on an S-Class, 21's look perfect, IMO. I do agree 22s are too big, though.
