G30 style 668 vs. 669
Guys, looking into getting new wheel/tires for my M550.
I am split between the style 668 vs. 669 for my MB M550 that came with 664s. It seems like the 669s (forged) are a lot lighter as compared to the 668s (cast),, any experiences / photos / thoughts on these would be much appreciated. There are lots of horror stories on pot holes vs. 668s, wondering if its the same with the 669s since the side wall is the same. Also, my dealership sells the 669s with P Zero RF, i was more over leaning towards Michelin PS4S.. input welcome !! |

I would like if the 669's had the grey accents like the 668. 668's go perfectly with all of the grey parts put on the car. Tired of black wheels on everything

668 for me is the best looking OEM wheel out there.

agreed,, 668 is very good looking wheel for M550,,, but I am thinking if I am going to pay 4K plus on a set of wheels, might as well get the Bicolor 669M, as it would add some value to the car since its an extra M performance accessory and might be a a bit more resistant to Pot Holes given that its forged and not cast,, not to mention that its also 3plus Kg lighter than the 668.
