High Dynamic Range (HDR) is a fancy way of taking pictures and rendering video. Some video games on PC use a version of this as well. There is more technical geeky specifics but I don't know about all of that stuff. I just know HDR looks fantastic in photo and video effects.

It's an HDR image (High Dynamic Range). Basically you take 3 pics at the exact same spot (i recommend using a tripod) with 3 different exposures. Download a software called photomatix (they have a free trial version) and just follow the tutorial.

I like 'em. Does anyone know anything further about these rims?
e.g. weight, what (if any) modifications are required to fit them to a W203?

What about that company? Anyone ever heard of them before? I did a quick search and can't find much about them (I don't want to be the W203 AMG member that gets scammed for rims!)

[Edit] Apologies to the OP - those photos look great. Please reply to my post by PM if you have any information - I don't want to take this thread OT.

I think you've already signed up on that thread, but then, check out the last post and/or add your name to that list. Then we get to decide when.

P.S.
now you've made me think of getting those rims ( if the wife will let me).

A cut and paste answer.

25 pound front
27 pound rear


This is what the Ebay lister told me the weights were when I asked. That appears to be lighter than the stock 18" wheels.

nice car and great pics.

but i must say, im not too comfortable with the fact that they use the amg logo.

i can understand knock off rims. similar styling, looks... but to flat out steal the amg logo? thats just wrong.

wait, those ARE FAKE "amg style" rims right? if they are not, my apologizes to manufacturer.

if they are knock offs, well, yeah, i dont feel comfortable with a company manufacturing a rim to look like certain brands rim AND using their logo.

Those look like authentic AMG Style VI rims, the same ones I have, but in sterling silver paint finish, rather than the titanium grey finish I have on mine. Mine are 18" rims that come stock with the CLK63 AMG, which have the correct offsets to fit on a W203 with no problems. I don't know which AMG vehicle these 19" rims are from, but they are definitely not from W204 C63.

If these are fake, they are very good looking knock-offs.

Great pictures, it almost doesn't look like a C32.
