my wheels are fine... and they are AMG and were CHEAP
there is no way to route the air out of our chargers to a FIMC- seriously! Plus my solution did solve the IAT problem.
As far as the guy who said the only wheels should be the 18" monoblocks- seriously they weight a TON. I'm not even the type to stress over a few pounds either... I always figure i can add more power to compensate.

AMG C43, 1999
I know the AMG Mono's in the 17"x8.5" size weigh 26lbs each. My SSR 17x9.5" wheels weigh 15.5 lbs each. The same SSR in an 18" size would have been 1lb more. I kind of wish I had 18" wheels to run the 285/30/18 rears and then a 265/35/18 front. I currently run 275/40/17 rears and 255/40/17 fronts.
Any of the one piece forged Volk wheels are very light and so are the Enkei F1 wheels but I dont like the way they look. I would love to have the SSR comp-H in 18x10.5" for the rear and then maybe 17x9.5" for the front.
I also think like Nitro that the REnntech Monolights look great and really fit the car nice. A very good choice
