my originals were those ugly 16s, then I had the 7 spoke 17s, then a set of ASA AR-1, then a set of those double spoke 209 AMGs in 17s, then a set of 18" brabus reps.


if you are talking about my AMGs (my winter setup), I got em from tirerack, for a hell...good price!

you will soon notice run-flat tires are a bad choice.....

i notice tires wear on my SLK at just about 5k miles of normal driving

and then you can't swap to normal tires because their rims are also made different, well i guess you gonna change rims anyway, so who care
