Stick to the likes of Brabus due to its simplicity,elegance and subtle looks.

I'm looking for some decent wheels for my GL as well as some accessories (I want to put some fender flares I thinking, tint the tails, bull bar, etc) but can't find a decent place.

These on my black GL would look great.



22" with at least 250 series tires, if not more (as much as I can get).

The Brabus Monoblock S doublespoke or VI doublespoke in 22" with as much sidewall as I can get would also look sick. Brabus wheels are grossly overpriced though. Brabus also has a body kit for the GL that makes it look wicked.

^^ Those Mandrus Millenium looks pretty good, thats one of the wheels I consider when I'm looking wheels for my R.

I believe you will need 295-35-22 for your GL especially for GL550 fender flares

Can I do more than 35? I want as much sidewall as possible. After the trouble I've been having with my Bentley on 22"s with a 25 series, I want all the sidewall I can get.

Stock :
275-55-19 = 30.9'

Tirerack suggest:
295-35-22 = 30.1'
255-50-22 = 32'

Other choice
295-40-22 = 31.29'
285-40-22 = 30.9'

285-40-22 will have the closest diameter with your stock and if you want more side wall, I believe 295 also work.
