Yep..it is the platinum white of the mystic white designo...the AMG rims on the car now are fantastic and perfect for the car.
My 3 weeks with the car have been incredible!!!!!
Only problem is the car put down too much power and have to be careful not to spin the tires too much..

Same here, I love my CL. I had the other AMG stock rims on it but I just got it back from the dealership a week ago because I had the windows tinted all around, taillights blacked out, a rear window spoiler (from the lorinser kit), and new rims that look similar to the AMG rims you have, but much better in my opinion. I would of been happy and kept the rims you have if they came with my car, but I had to change them because I didn't like the ones I got. I still need to take pictures of the new upgrades which I'll probably do sometime this week and add them to my album. And as far as the wheelspin, it's really only out of control if you have the ESP off. If it's on, the wheels barely spin, even when you floor it, and it's totally managable. The only thing I dislike about AMG's 65 engines, is that they all have turbo laggs. Everytime I floor my CL or SL, i can feel it accelerate but it takes a good 1-2 seconds before the turbos kick in and then you can really feel the car pulling you back.

Without a doubt the best looking S class I've seen! Great choice! That white inside is sick. I think if you went with a really light set of 5 spokes from 360 forged or HRE it would look beyond perfect, seeing as it's perfect now!

The rims are terrific...car puts down lots of power, have to be careful when the tires are cold.

Looks great. Those wheels are even nicer than the beauties on my W220. I'm hoping to get into a W221 just like yours in a year or two.

Thanks for all the great compliments. Will get more pics soon, have so much snow on the ground, hard to keep the car clean.

Great looking vehicle, the white on white is unique. I've driven the w221 600, so I know the 65 gets up even more than that. Have you thought about powder coating the wheels black? That's the only thing I would do.

Thanks. those rims come standard and the car has not been lowered, the AMGs do sit lower than the non-AMG S class.
The car is a blast but does not like the Ohio snow.
