The wheels are between a gloss gunmetal and dark graphite. Darker than gunmetal but lighter than dark graphite.

Still amazes me how much just a few small changes affect the way this car looks.
Window tint, Steeda progressives, 20 and 25mm spacers, black emblems and black lug nuts. Very happy w/ the outcome so far.
Love it.

Your post showing the Steeda Progressives may have sold me on them. I wanted Eibach Sportlines but was told they won’t fit my 19 PP1 car.

And I agree on how much the little things can change the look. I just put the black lugs on mine too and will be ordering the black badges.

How hard was it to get the 5.0’s off and back on? I used to use fishing line to get behind the badges on my Fox Bodies.

Here’s mine.

I’ll have some updated ones in a few weeks once I get the lens tints finished and also tonsjow the smoked rear side marker lights.

Thanks man, here’s a recent pic with 20” P51’s, 275/35 & 305/35:

The emblems came off pretty easy using a nylon pry tool and a little muscle. Used a little WD-40 to clean up the residual sticky tape and some rubbing alcohol to clean the residual WD-40.

That looks fantastic. By far my favorite S550 that I've seen.

Where did you get those wheels? I want to go with the same ones. I was going to go with the black P51's and those are the only color I see on the P51 site.

Thanks man I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. Wheels came from Vibe Motorsports a sponsor here in the forum. They can do many different colors for a small fee. I didn’t want black cause they (black wheels) are just about ‘played out’ as far as I’m concerned.

As you should be - it looks great.

So with the Steeda Progressive's and the bigger tires I assume you don't have any rubbing issues?

None whatsoever! Wouldn’t tolerate anything like that.

I’ll answer since I have the same wheels - they are the optional OEM Ford 20” Foundry wheels from the ‘15-‘17 model year. Your best bet is to find them on eBay, Craigslist, or the for sale forum on this site if you get lucky (which is what I did). You can get them from Ford but they are pricey.

What are the offsets for your wheels? Its the exact set up i want. With different wheels though lol
After paint correction and ceramic coating came the custom colored P51’s via Vibe Motorsports. Love the color and fitment!

+35 front and +50 rear. Depending on your tire size they’ll be perfect. With a 275/35 front they could’ve been a +30 and been a tad better, but honestly I’m nitpicking.
