What do you call the Entry into tuning? For me and for many others, tuning begins with a lowering or a loud sports exhaust and, most importantly, with an increase in performance! It should also be clear that everyone interprets the topic of tuning differently and so in the end everyone has a different idea of ​​a tuned vehicle. But what if we take the trouble and compare our question with a statistic? Then we will find that for a good 60% of all vehicle owners with a desire for customization, the car is the first to receive a new wheel set and this is almost always at least 1 inch larger than the factory rims. The rims are replaced before the car is chiptuned or lowered. In other words, a new wheel set is the most frequent change to a vehicle, but it is also one of the most expensive. The choice to replace the rims is understandable, because the rims installed ex works are not necessarily unsightly, the problem is that the standard rims are selected in the manufacturer's configurator and of course at least a few hundred other buyers have one, in this case Maybach 57S, also done. In addition, the wheel sets are of course trimmed in the direction of mainstream optics ex works because they should please the general public.

Reasons for new rims on Mayboch 57S

All very good reasons for a new set of rims! Why not look around in the Forgiato Wheels repertoire to see if there is an alternative? The owner of this Maybach 57S has "the wheelset project“And the standard rims were exchanged for a 24 inch Forgiato OG wheelset in gloss black and metallic brown. Who knows Forgiato Wheels can understand why it had to be this particular provider! Forgiato Wheels has high quality rims in its range and is also one of the providers who also offers many crazy and idiosyncratic designs. As you can see, there was also something “idiosyncratic” for the 57S and the visually rather questionable project could begin. Apart from the new rims, the 57S has received further changes which we are only aware of based on the photos, unfortunately we do not currently have exact details. Regardless of the focus is the new 24 inch wheelset that misses the standard rims in my eyes because somehow the 57er looks like it wants to go to the next Dakar safari on the direct route. The vehicle doesn't really look more dynamic or sporty, which is actually the goal when installing a new set of rims. We took a closer look at the photos and looked for differences compared to the production model and were able to determine a few more changes to the rims.

What we have learned from the tuner Lions Limos and have recognized ourselves, we provide you as usual in a summary below. If you notice any further changes, we would be happy if you post them in the comment box.
