Finally got my 17" Monoblocks on... before and after pics!

Ok... I've had these sitting in my garage for like 6 months. Couldn't find the stock lug bolts to put them on and finally managed to get a set from a local fellow off eBay... $20 for 20 lug bolts vs the dealer at $5 each! OUCH!

Here's the pics of before w/ 17" replica SLKs and now w/ the 17" AMG Monoblocks (17x8 fronts & 17x9 rears).
fronts 225/45/17, rears 245/45/17 for both sets.

Lowered w/ Brabus springs & Bilstein Sport Shocks (forgot which pad numbers as I had to do it a couple times to get it right).

authetic AMG rims, AMG badge came w/ the Benz

Believe it or not, I got the car from the previous guy who put on the badge. I tried to take it off, but it was crazy glued on. So I didn't want to peel the paint.

Yup, make fun of me all you want, I'm a wannabe AMG. LOL

2000, C230 kompressor sport,
I'm going to put the amg badge on my vehicle and change the C230 into C23.... That is... after I add the monoblocks and new exhaust.

Double spoke amg rims also look good on the w202 too. I cant decide if I should get them instead.
