Its already a VERY NICE CAR. Don't ruin it.

If you must, I suggest Brabus. They are the number one benz tuner. Please no lorinser or carlsson

One of my best friends used to have an S500 showcar. He dumped 25 grand into full brabus kit, 20'' brabus monoblock wheels (the rare discontinued ones), brabus interior (everything u can think of), aftermarket air suspension, flared fenders, exhaust etc.....


Trying to modify a benz with anything other than AMG or Brabus is EURO RICE or can you say Risotto?

What color is the car? You don't necessarily have to drop thousands on Brabus wheels just for the car to look ''nice.''

Not for nothing, but I see plenty of S500's that are stock. It wouldn't be blasphemous to put some wheels on it and be different. Just don't ghetto the car out, that's all.

Personally, I'd go for either chrome double-spoke AMG's or a polished 5-spoke or mesh wheel. 20's actually fit pretty well on this car.

yeah, currently looking into that right now.. i'm trying to find out if they will fit or not.. i don't know much about benz like i do acuras.. can any of you guys tell me ?

honestly, i'm interested in some AMG rims first... i like to keep a car stock ~looking.


does anybody know if i can change the sway bars in the benz?

i'm not gonna change a lot things on this car like i did w/ the TL.. this car is great as is, just needs a little touch up here and there.. i def doni't want to lower the car and change springs/shocks .. the airmatic stuff on the car looks complicated and advance.. i just want to do something to TRY to get rid of the body roll.. any tips?

"AMG SC1 STYLE WHEELS"

You don't honestly think that you'll find 19" AMG wheels for $1,000...
