2008 Maybach 57S with 22" Modulare M1 3-piece forged wheels in black

Check this out....another local customer with a 08 Maybach 57S that we installed 22" Modulare M1 3-piece forged wheels in black. Customer requested a aggressive offset in the rear, believe it or not if fits without rubbing....

Enjoy the pics!

Looks good...though I personally find Maybachs to be a waste of money... Get an S600 and save $200k. Or if you really want exclusivity, get a Phantom.

badass!

I really do like it!

but I guess the ride comfort is not that good anymore with those thin tires
I mean,comfort is pretty much the only thing a maybach can offer other than horsepower ..

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard any enthusiast say... The Maybach is way above the S600 in terms of quality, luxury, and amenities. I will go as far as saying that it out does the Phantom in regards to amenities as well. The Phantom EWB is a very fine car, but the Maybach 62S is definitely the only other car in it's class.

I do feel that the 57 series Maybach is a disappointment for those that have experienced the rear seat in the 62, but it's still a much better car then the 600.

I agree, if you think it's a waste of money you are obviously not the target market.

I'm not a fan of Maybachs either but still respect them though. I think i'd rather roll around in a Phantom or even a Phantom coupe, but thats me, i like to drive myself.

The rear offset does look at first to not fit well.

This is how you match up wheels to a car. For me, a big luxo-barge should have multispoke, color matched wheels. Looks great.
As for the waste subject, hey.....it's all relative. People in this market don't even consider how much it cost. Well, they probably do but don't care. We've got CEO's making more money than they can spend while their ground floor staff are being laid off. They gotta find some way to spend all that greed money.

Hopefully someone can suggest a good detailer to this guy to possibly remove the few month old chunks of wax he seems to have everywhere. Holy ****, is this guy detailing the car in a barn only illuminated by moonlight?

Should give it a little more dish in the rear, car looks good other than the swirls in the paint
