I am not saying the wheels look one way or another, but traditionally, open faced multispoked mesh styled rims like the LM are found mostly on BMW's. Mercedes has traditionally used a 5 spoke or full faced type rim. Of course there are exceptions to every rule.

Dunno - but to me those 20's look OTT to me -

Also where are the tyres ??

I think BBS mesh style are more Porsche / BMW than Benz... but just looks at Rock's setup ... it "rocks!"

Think maybe my AMG style IV splits were a mistake ....

Just my .02

Like the rims or hate them, but someone needs to learn how to park.

I don't like the LM's for the 55 at all, the lip intrudes to far into the wheel center and they just don't look that good.

There are lots of better looking options.

IMHO

'03 G500, '13 G63, '17 GLS63,
I definitely agree Rock's 19" LM's look way hotter than the 20" flat-face LM's. Not that the 20s look bad either. I guess I'm just used to a bigger rear lip on RWD cars.

BBS RGR's are even lighter! I would perosnally get some black centers with a deep chrome lip. 3 piece forged of course.

i like em better on the 210.. but then i think the OEM 18inch monoblocks still suit more than anything else!! they do look a bit old school now i admit, but still i think the look is fairly classic/timeless, and suits benz very well.
niiiice......
