T,

Man those look good. I like the look of the paint, somewhat silver in the light and aero blue in the shadow. Goes well with the nice blue lug accents and the amg logos.

Dude that looks amazing!

I cringed when I read the title, but this is totally classy. Definitely an exotic feel.

I had the exact same reaction as John. I read the title and cringed. LOL Wow, is all I can say. They are totally awesome. I really like the AMG on the spoke. How did you do that?

The *ONLY* thing I would change, is the centercaps.

I would simply go with a plain brushed aluminum one, and not have the redundant AMG logos. The logo on the spoke needs to stay, as it is different and adds a bit of class. But having two logos within two inches of each other make you look like you have Alzheimer's...

I always wondered how that would look. I once saw a red Porche with a similar scheme on his rims and it looked good.

I think with the translucent effect, yours look even better..

Looks great Danny! I look forward to seeing them in person.

When are you going to go pickup that blue SRT6 at Randall Reed's?
