If you get the right touch up paint, it won't be as noticeable.

Your brilliant silver touch up paint will be pretty darn close. I had some touch up paint for AMG wheels that I found online a few years back, but that was lost in the accident.

I don't know about easier, but it's definitely more fun!

Hey Kev,

How much did you pay for your winter set? Those are nice, esp being ///AMG ones.

I ended up getting a set of Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D's from tirerack. And I'm going to mount them on my OEM wheels that currently have summer rubber on them. Then, I purchased some AMG replica C55 style double-spokes from Eurotech Motorsports, and come spring, I'm gonna mount my summer rubber on them.

BTW, your car looks funny with your new wheels *next* to the car. Looks like the front one is too far forward, and the rear is too far back If no one read your description above, they might have thought you did some serious work to extend your wheelbase a couple of extra inches
