I will post some pics over the weekend funny guys.

To be honest, I'm not totally enamored with the new look. While I think the wheels are very nice, somehow I think the NA OEMs look better on this car.

You let me know if you want to go back to the 7-spokes FP and I'll gladly take those shiny new SRT ones off your hands. LOL

Not so much... just a mid-twenties guy... it happens.

I then re-thought about the scenario and it involved a beer, spitting, and the awesomeness of FPs wheels... we will leave it at that.


...dangit FP, quit holding out on us.

It won't matter, FP will keep them. He just has to polish them once or twice so they grow on him. LOL FP must have nothing to do after church on Sundays. LOL

I am sorry to hear this, but I hope they grow on you.

The first day they put my wheels on my car was one of the happiest days I can remember

Me and Rudy were at FP's today and saw the new wheels.
Looks really sharp and CHROME !!!
I think they have grown on him now.
Rudy took some pics so maybe the rest of you will see them soon.
We moved some furniture and helped FP get some rooms ready for new hardwood floors in his house.
He is a busy guy

FP, if you still have your stock NA wheels, could you weigh one and your new chrome srt's?
Im curious as to how much weight the chrome adds per wheel

Ok thanks!! These just pop in the hub and stay right. Lot of choices to pick from. Do you happen to know the diameter I need?

Yep, just pop them in. The center diameter is 75mm. All mercedes wheels have the same diameter opening, so any of these should fit. Having said that, the only ones that seem to need a little tweaking to work seem to be the AMG ones in this pic. For some reason, they are too loose, but you can use a lighter to heat up the tabs and bend them out slightly and it will snug right up.
