Got some new rims for my w203..
Hey guys ive been looking for some nice rims for a long time now.. ever since i saw the 22 spoke amg turbine rims from a sl55 i think i always wanted them.. but at like 1k for a used set without tires it was too expensive.. im a college student now and dont have that kind of money to throw around 
so i just planned on staying stock rims for a while.. i was looking for em all around the web and found a nicee set for a steall lol.. drove all the way to new jersey to pick em up.. traffic was a bit crazy took forver lol.. anyways picked the em and im happy as hell... i always wanted these 
.. now i have to get some tires for em.. i think ill wait till after winter... im gonna throw snow tires on my stock rims soon 
here are some pics of me test fitting them on the car
Damn barely a finger between the strut.. will that be fine?
My dirty *** "brembos" lol
Barely a finger between the inner lip and inside.. 33 offset
Reppin lol
and chopped to see how it will look when mounted..

He got a good deal on them...
LightDragon turn stupid mode off.
It's his car and he as always wanted them. Bremma TSW are kind of borring if you ask me. I will sell you my rims since you like them so much when I get some one ones. I was thinking of getting some Linea Corse Lemans.

it's fine. just get the right bolts. 225/40 and 255/35 18" tires. it's been done.
the SL55 and the SLK55 and the C63 multispoke are few of the AMG wheel that looks great on all models.
