It kind of bothered me that you could not see them well, even at speed. With the new coupe, I decided to do wheels that would set off the calipers much more, and I painted them an orange/red hue that I liked.



What I like most it when I am at speed, and you can see those beautiful things staring at you. Lots more people are noticing them as well. With your black wheels, I think something kind of loud might be cool, but as others have said, you need to add other details or paint things to tie it all together and not make it look like you are just adding random colors wherever, more of a theme.

If you can not tell, I LOVE the new AMG setup

so what kind of AMG wheels are on that beautiful gray coupe. I also like the old style AMG logo too.
