Those wheels are very similar to the ESR Apex 6 series and are you considering on adding the ZL1 Add-On's wickerbill to that GT350 track pack spoiler?

Hahah youā€™ve got it backwards the ESRā€™s are knockoffs of my wheels (Volk TE37ā€™s)

Hard pass on the ZL1 Wicker bill. Iā€™ve seen it in person and itā€™s passable as a wicker bill, the mounting holes can get stressed and crack. Itā€™s likely made out of Lexan.

Yes the wicker bill does loosen up as I had that setup for the last 3+ years and got tired of the GT350 track pack as everyone was riding with one even in my small city! I now have the CF GT500 spoiler with wicker bill and don't like it much either but there's not many good looking spoilers you can get for our S550 that looks good, IMO.

To me wheels are wheels and have gone through 5 sets of wheels since I've owned this car but if ESR did a knock-off of your Volk's then they did an awesome job but you just paid alot more for the originals! lol But hey they do look good and just got rid of my SVE R350 wheels that was a 7 spoke design similar to your Volk's...

If you like that of a rear diffuser there's one similar to that for much cheaper!

Lol šŸ˜‚ Not really similar, thatā€™s probably made of plastic. The Verus one is 5052-H32 Sheet Aluminum. I prefer functional, tested quality parts, thatā€™s just me.

yep not many spoilers look good on the S550 this 350 is probably the best imho.

Yeah I donā€™t mind paying for quality parts, the quality of volks is unparalleled. The weight savings, rigidity and strength amongst other performance benefits. Iā€™ll take these over multiple wheel sets any day.

Yeah they are most likely made with cheap ABS but hey most people who own S550's don't track their car and probably just drive it on a daily like myself, plus where I am in Canada we don't have race tracks here anyways! That link was added for that previous inquiry to your diffuser!

ESR has come a long way with their new wheels and now offer a lifetime structural warranty on their wheels but the weight of their wheels are more closer to the standard wheel market not like Volk's but hey if you have the money for them, sure why not pay for them! Correction, ESR does have 3 piece Carbon fiber wheels and they are priced very competitively!

I actually did a tire review later that day on the Bridgestone Blizzak WS80's and I'll tell you these tires are amazing in the snow! it's not uncommon that I'm passing or seeing people give me the oddest look when driving under these types of conditions and passing them but driving safely! šŸ‘»

Lol Iā€™m not the first on the S550 platform, but Iā€™m pretty sure Iā€™m the only one on Magnesium Blue OGā€™s. Iā€™ve seen a handful of SLs and Ultra setups. #TE37theWORLD
