New to W140 Family

[salamanca]

Greetings to all.

I've been a member of this forum for almost a year. I started out with a 124 (260E).
A couple of months ago I purchased a 95 S500. The car had a little over 95k miles when I bought it. Everything works great and it performs like beast. It's black on black. Only things I've modified are the corner lights and the grill.

I am wanting to upgrade the wheels. Nothing big, chrome or fancy. Just something new and better than what I have on now. I'm thinking "17s but I have no idea of which ones would look good and tasteful. I need new tires so I figured I'd just get everything at once.

I have a ton of questions but here are two for now:

1. Which are the best legal bulbs to use for the clear corner lights?

2. On the rear suspension, besides the actual shocks, what is it that one can replace to better the suspension?

Thanks in advance to all. I really appreciate any input.

They have a pretty good selection of wheels for your car. They also have on their website a way that you can see what the wheels will look like on the car.

Pretty car, it looks almost exactly like mine!

Your car is a gem, Best color and LWB as well.
Change the grille insert to a V12 one and put 18/8.5 AMG's on it with 255/45/18 oh and a set of S/S tips off the BAY, you know the square to round ones. That should do the trick.

That is a beautiful example of the W140. The only improvement possible is an S600 grille. [:)]

Hey guys,

Here's a quick picture I took with my phone. Not the greatest quality but maybe you're able to see how the new grille looks. Thanks again for all your comments, they are very appreciated.
