Pictures of my new AMG repro wheels.
Here are some pictures of my new AMG clone wheels.
18x8.5x+35 front
19x9.5x+45+10mm spacers.
I think they look great! No problem balancing no vibrations all went well.

Have to agree with the rest...
Picturing them on an Aero Blue Roadster..but that's the wife's choice.. probably have to give her another six months to decide she needs new ones..

She already did that.. "I'm fine with how my car is".. a month ago. Now she has the tune and 74mm throttle body parts are waiting for a time slot to install..

Re: Pictures of my new AMG repro wheels.
looks good, hows the stance in the rear? that +35 offset with the spacer is still higher than stock I believe.
Also, lower that bad boy and it'll look perfect

Re: Pictures of my new AMG repro wheels.
The offset is not bad but could have went with a 15mm plate. The rim of the wheel sets 1 inch in from the outside top edge of the wheel well

Pictures of my new AMG repro wheels.
Does all that hay around make it a 'barn find'?
I've always felt that for whatever reason, an odd number of spokes is more attractive. And five spokes are almost always the best looking of all.
What really makes those wheels is that just the exterior edge of the metal shows, with the inside being gloss black. Are the calipers also painted (powder coated?) gloss black?

That's Georgia pine straw you see in the picture. Want to buy a bale? I have 52 pines on the property so I have mega pine straw
I have not painted the calipers just cleaned and brushed them so they are still steel colored. I may still do them in black though.
