18x8.5 AMG Reps *Cheap*
I can't decide if these would look good on our cars or not? Anyone in the market for some 18x8.5 reps?

I cant quite decided if it would or not. Some times newer wheels look out of place on our body. I do know that I nice lip on the rear looks amazing on these cars. 
I want these wheels so F-ING bad!

There's a guy on benzworld that has these in 19". Maybe it's just the size, but I don't they look that great. Too much of a clash between the old and new, not a good look unlike Tasho's C43 there

none
If it were me I would be more concerned with keeping the staggered widths rather than 8.5 all around. Pretty sure I've seen these or very similar sold in the 8.5/9.5 configuration also, naturally a little more coin but well worth I think.

Looking at the wheels and thinking that they are using the AMG logo on rep wheels that is rather naughty 
and legal speaking a serious breach of corporate identity.

They are dangerous and importation of these things should be met with a STIFF tarriff.
It's like the guy in Manhattan selling the $20 Rolexes.
Except those won't fall apart at speed....

sounds like airplane
that or they are actually identical to the real ones and we're getting hosed both ways.
no way of really knowing either unless you are over there...
I wouldn't be against running replicas if I didn't drive a real car (and I've run replicas on this car in the past which I now regret)
