G500 with New Wheels & Tires!!!
Here is a link to pictures of my truck. I just purchased some 20" Iforged Imola two piece wheels and put on some toyo open country tires. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do. Any comments would be appreciated, both good and bad. Thanks for looking. P.S.

Thanks for the kind words Andy. I have a set of 23" wheels but really like this set up right now. I sold my stock wheels and tires and purchased these wheels and tires for the winter but I think I may forget about the 23" wheels and run these all year round.

Looks bad ***..I have recently become a fan of the G after having been in one. Post some pics of it with the 23's.

Here is a picture of it with the chrome 23" Antera wheels. I am not a huge fan of chrome wheels but they do compliment the brush guard and tail light guards. I need to refinish these wheels because they are pitting. I may either paint them bright silver or do chrome again but not sure. Let me know what you guys think.

I'm partial to the 22" size for G-wagon's, myself. Did you notice the ride improve at all with the 20's, or did you not even notice?

The ride quality is maybe a little better but I definately notice that it doesnt take as long to get the truck to stop now that the new lighter wheels are on it. I have noticed some vibration now with the new wheels but my tire guy told me it is because of the all terrain tires(the wheels were purchased brand new). So I dont know if I want to switch the tires to an all season tread or just stick with these. I love how the all terrains look though. Decisions I tell ya...LOL!!!

Factorykitted..Thanks for the comments. Yeah not sure what I am going to do with the anteras just yet. What dont you like about them? Is it the chrome or the style of the wheels? Or both? LOL. I have seen pics of your truck here and on other mercedes forums and it is a beautiful truck man.

Yeah, not feeling them either. The style I think throws it off. Chrome can work depending on application. I think the Brabus look the best on the G Monster. Sick truck none the less!

Thanks for the compliments and feedback about the antera wheels and my new wheel and tire setup!!! Thinking of what my next modification is going to be. Am thinking of doing a side exit exhaust on both sides just like the G55's. Was looking for some G55 mufflers with tips but cant find anything so I may two magnaflow mufflers and 4 tips(2 tips on each side). What do you guys think?

doesnt belong on it unless its a 55. You may be able to get away w/ it if you went with Brabus exhaust - just my opinion though
