Who puts 22's on an S65, I mean seriously?

those wheels will burn real fast

 

They look cool.

 

I think it looks nice. Most cars rims are too f'n small, like the 612's. I like it when a rim/tire fills out the fenderwell gaps. Looks right to me, personally.

 

you mean an NBA playa...

I'm a fan of rims just as much as the next guy, but there is a FINE LINE between "tasteful appearance modification" and "badass bling bling".

Those rims fall in the second category.

A nice set of 19s or 20's, chrome deep dish AMG or Brabus rims are my choice on a Merc.

 

I dislike bling.

 

ooh..
nice bling's

 

Exactly.....

 

He probably did it because the installer told him he would get more leg room...

Looks overly pimped, especially on the most conservative luxury sedan you can buy. Mercedes is supposed to be quiet and classy.

 

He could've at least got them painted black.

 

Oh, now there's a surprise.

 

I don't think it looks too bad but it's not a car I would drive in the first place.

 

If they wern't so garish they'd look good.

 

I think the original poster answered his own question...nba players. These just buy the most expensive mercedes cuz they think it's cool and through some stupid looking wheels on it. I see it everyday here.

 

^ Very true. It doesn't add anything except a thought of why they did it in the first place.

 

A good argument here would be; If you were to buy a $3000 Armani suit, wouldn't you spend another $500 and get a nice pair of Prada shoes to compliment it?

Buying an Armani suit and then a pair of $300 Blue Chrome Nike Shoxx is just gross and disgusting...and totally missing the point.

 

^ Very true. It doesn't add anything except a though of why they did it in the first place.

 

I'm great friends with the owner of Chariots of fire. Top notch shop, and nothing leaves unless it's perfect. Thats seems to be a rare comodity these days. As for the 22's, they really don't seem out of place now-a-days. Even many of the stockers come with 20" ers .

BTW were you up at the shop?

I hate bling,
Some nice 18" polished aluminium light weight wheels would be nice on that car.

 

I really like it. It suits the car well and I'd definitely get some nice rims if I have an S65.

 

No point for light weight wheels when the car weighs A LOT!
