rims and wheels

The majority seem to agree on amg monoblock....are they the same amg areo II monoblock?...

I am also looking for some rims and wheels for my 97 S500 (Black/Black). Is regular finish the same as silver finish?

Most are recommending 18"...is 19,20 too ghetto? and do they affect the ride (wont fit as well?)?

thanks

rims size and kind

Thanks mpm for the information. I think i am gonna go with 18". I am not sure if chrome would be still classy on the car. I hear chrome doesnt look that good on a classy s class. I also live in wisconsin and i will be driving the car in the winter. I heard that salt will ruin the life of the chromes.

Any advice on what winter tires are best, and whether to stick to silver rather then chrome,? would be appreciated..

rims size

Scott thanks for the advice...

i will go with silver not chrome...and i will go with amg monoblock...the last thing i want to finalize is whether to go for 19" ..and if it makes a big difference over 18"... but if it will sacrifice ride comfort i guess i have to stick to 18"?

what do people in here think ...18 or 19?


thanks

19" inch rims?

Hey scottschoe, thanks again..

i think i will go with 19" monoblock...unless someone here on the forum would say the 19" would sacrifice the ride and control drastically..

There is a guy that own i think s600 or s500..he has 20" on his ..i think his name is eric......maybe he can comment..

Can anyone comment on 19" and if it would be still ok to put them on w140...? and also if you know if anyone can recommend THE BEST 19" ALL SEASON TIRE TO USE?

THANKS

your rims

w140gill:

do your 18" still look big on your car, cuz the previous poster mentioned that the 18" are looking smaller and smaller to him each day...

i am just wondering how some like erik manage to put 20" on their car, specially when you mentioned the issues of harsher ride and tire damage with bigger then 18" rims.

Any input would be appreciated.
