Damn and the OZ superturismos are lightweight cast, so I can imagine how light the AMG forged ones are!...Craziness. No wonder it was 9 seconds faster.

I dont think they are worth it, seriously, 699 for a set of replicas? there are a lot of choices out there for 699.

I think I paid less, around $575, then you have to buy the center badges, the nozzle tips, plus shipping, it all adds up to little less than $700, but this was for an all chrome set, this one is different, so is the price.

I don't know the market too well, they might be some better deals out there, I just want you guys to know, they look good and works well.

i think that silver on desert silver, doesnt quite match, i dunno , theres certain finishes that jus look off on some colors.

blakes bbs' look great with his color, but the bbs' arent super bright silver, and they even out with the pewter color.

i still like the black idea, i personally dont like the mono vi replicas, i like thinner spokes to show off brakes. mrr's are a good pick, i think theyre great wheels for the price, they ride great, not really that heavy, nice dish in the rear. i had 3 piece wheels, i liked them a lot, but i also like these wheels and a lot of other one piece wheels. ive gotten a lot more compliments than i ever did on these wheels than i did with the 3 piece.

its all about what you like, and what looks good. find a compromise between the both and youre good to go.

I'd say go for the black rims considering your tint and the price range.
