Finally got new shoes

I have finally gone ahead and gone for new wheels, took a while because frankly there aren't a lot of wheels that fit the W211 chassis the way I like aesthetically speaking. Compared to stock (AMG wheels), 90% of aftermarket wheels I have seen on this chassis has been a lateral move and some have even been a downgrade in aesthetics to ME personally.

So after long laborous researching, I finally arrived at this. I do not like black wheels in general but for this car....this was definitely the way to go

I actually like the front having a little more fender space than the rear. The front turns the rear doesn't and stock the front sits a little higher than the rear (fender to ground). I simply kept the same ratio as stock when I lowered it.
Also rear looks a lot lower in the pics than the front due to weird slope of my driveway
