Custom RennTech Monolites Refinished- Yummy!

Picked up my custom refinished RennTech Monolites on friday and thought I would share some pics. I think they came out amazing. Had them fully straightened, blasted, powdercoated and the faces machined. I added AMG center caps for the final touches. Still snowing here, so no pics on the car yet, but they look great up next to my brother 40th Anniversary CL65 AMG.

On to the pics...

Maybe it's just the brand but they look thick to me.

They are offset for CLS/SL, and are 10.5" in the rear. Should fit just fine as these are going on a CLS55, but I like my wheels pushed out as far as possible to be flush with fender well just the same.

Looks nice, but damn that seems like a lot of wheel weights on one of them. I wonder if the refinishing caused it to be out of balance by that much?

More likely the repair of a bent rim being slightly off. Could be the tire, too, especially if it's been mounted previously.

Can't wait to see them on your ride. Thinking of getting mine refinished next winter.

Got them on my car now. Will take some pics soon. Looks great, and these light weight wheels really make a difference in performance. Car just feels like it's so much lighter on its feet.
