Thanks for all the feedback everyone - it is funny how polarized a look like this can make peoples opinions.
The wheels are very M-TV in all reality, I am aware that this is an acquired (not to say refined) taste. But no matter what, it's an S Class - it pretty much transcends opinion - I could paint it purple and burberry and still feel awesome behind the wheel, haha.
I researched these rims, and haha - they are made by a company called EXE, and go for $900 to $1500 for 4 rims on eBay. Typical that a dealer would cheap out like that, so I will look around - I am by no means in the market to put a whole lot of money into this thing right now (still recovering from the E60!), but at some point I will put a poll up on this site because I realized how much I respect the opinion of the people on this board.

22s are the norm for that car. It's just that particular wheel and maybe how the car is sitting that makes it look awkward.
