2007 MERCEDES S-Class (w221) featuring ZONE 4 21" wheels
Hey guys, I had to post this here first as this has to be one of the first 2007 S-Class' with 21" wheels.
Before anyone asks, even with those fender flares, these cars run about the same fitment spec as the w220 S-Class, so you are only going to get about a 3.5" lip in the rear (none of that 745 type 5" lip with rear bbk type stuff). I was really hoping for more, but the car determines it, not me so it is what it is.
The wheels are:
ZONE 4 1pc
21x9 - front (1.75" lip)
21x10.5 - rear (3" lip)
Full BRUSHED ALUMINUM Finish (Face / Lip)
UPDATE: ADDED SAME WHEEL PACAKAGE IN CHROME (dfferent car)
Of course the wheels can be done in full chrome, Brushed / chrome lip, etc etc. I like these wheels as they are a good representation of what the average S-Class owner will want, a more OEM-conservative non bling look. Of course ZONE will be toying around with some more aggresive fitments, etc etc in the futre. For more info on this car or wheels, please email:

What I don't get about wheel styles like this is why anyone would want to hide the beautiful rotors and calipers behind the wheels?

Maybe these wheels would look better in chrome or high polish. Any pics of other finishes?
Our local lexus dealer has a 2007 s class for sale. I've been to visit twice....just to make sure of what I think about it. I don't like it. Those fender arches just seem out of place and disrupt the flow of the design. I do not know what's going on with design studies these days but we'll see, maybe this will grow on me. Maybe benz is trying to copy bmw...do something different and hope it catches on. The front has lost some of that benz demeanor but the rear I like. Even the interior is not as luxurious as the outgoing model, it feels cheaper. I rubbed over all the surfaces, did some knocking and banging. It just doesn't feel as quality as the outgoing cars interior. I wouldn't pay 100 grand for it. Maybe 60 grand but it doesn't feel like a 100k car. Probably copying infiniti a little by spending all the monry on the engine and electronics and cost cutting in the interior.

Thanks for sharing D2 but those wheel kinda cheapens the car, sorry
That was good info regarding the wheel arches-you would think you can squeeze in bigger lip wheels in there (unlike the 7). So not only is it ugly but not functional either.
Probably black would be better then.

WOw Derrick you would never think that is a 21'' wheel on that car.. TO me the car looks normal with those wheels.. I guess its because the car is large like the GS so a big wheel will look nice instead of over doing it.. iMO the car looks very good even in that color choice of wheels.. That car says class IMO... Looks very good D...
