Summer wheels on

Nothing too out of the ordinary but finally put 18" 5 spokes on... Hopefully I won't crack them on these NE roads like my 19"s.

Another round of ICE
They look great...I really like your wheels, especially if you have low dust brake pads. The five spoke design (split or solid) really does seem best suited to these cars.

I note the car is "Pewter"...with the lighting it seems lighter than Palladium but darker than Iridium Silver...was that a one year color in 2008?

Ya Silversx they're just OEM AMGs.

That's a good question Sportstick. Honestly I didn't realize that they weren't making the color any more. In the sun or in person it's definitely darker than iridium and maybe lighter than palladium but mostly "warmer"; kind of if you picture the palladium and pearl beige mixed.
