how about?

Kpela

Lmao if I trade the amg in for a Honda then without a doubt

hyperion667

I'm sorry man, I couldn't resist.....I was just looking on their site because of a heinous set a sponser posted on the W222 lol

Kpela

All good man ha . I really can't imagine who would agree to throw those on any type of car

Conv_GSDriver

These are shiny copper lips, to give you a perspective of the color.

Kpela

Thanks man, I think I'm going to stay away from the copper look since it also looks to dark and will blend in with the color . Looking like brushed silver or gold is going to be the way I go unless I see something better .

beejAMG

what the f*ck is that?! id like to see whos crazy enough to put that in a car. i wouldnt even use it as a garden hose reel!

Kpela, gold would look nice. brushed silver is a bit mediocre. (just like my E sedan)

Kpela

Lmao no one in their right mind would use those rims lol

Working with velos now about a polished or brushed gold wheel. Silver would be kind of plain .

beejAMG

Just like what Joey said, "wow! Its like its on fire!" Lol






looking forward to it. make sure to post pics as soon as.

Kpela

A little off topic but does anyone know where to get the side 6.3 amg badges in gloss black? I would rather just get replacement ones like I did with all the rear badges rather then have someone paint it gloss black.

hyperion667

lol garden hose reel!!
go to the website and check out their wheels, they're heinous!
someone is rocking them some where

beejAMG

have you tried ebay mate?

Hyperion: checked out the website and they have a few "out there" designs that only the insane would put in their cars. but I saw a couple that i fancy and not too bad with the prices either.

Kpela

Yes sir eBay was thing I looked at. Was where I bought all my rear gloss black badges. I couldn't mind the side ones though . Only in the stock color and the one with the red strip in it. If I can't find anything I'm just going to put the 6.3 badge and go for that look inside of the 6.3 amg badge .

I was so distracted by the wheels I didn't see any I'd consider......I'm used to (spoiled by) HRE quality and finish and it would be incredibly difficult for me to shop with another wheel maker, I know what I'll get when I order a set of HRE's, currently on my 6th set

beejAMG

HRE's make some of the finest designs and finishes ive seen. sadly it will cost you an arm and a leg down here. a set would be around AU$8500, and that would be the cheaper models.

with that website though, theres a link to see the finish up close and it doesnt look so bad. not a bad finish for the price i reckon.

beejAMG

i saw a couple of what youre looking for when i searched on google images but both DIYs. i reckon if you really want it, get some knock off from ebay and paint it yourself. if it turns out ok, install it, if it doesnt, chuck it.

Roswell

I agree with u, after my 5th sets of HRE I don't know if I will ever be happy with another company.

Kpela

ran two sets of HRE on pervious cars, amazing wheels but I'm always looking to give different companies a chance to wow me. End of day they are just wheels and can always sell and buy another lol

Julie@KonceptCars

True, there are a lot of forged wheel options available. Wheel forgings are supplied from a select few manufacturers, so most U.S. wheel companies actually use the same parts...kind of like the textiles industry.

Back to the topic of Barolo Red, I love that color! I'm a sucker for "off" colored Benzes, but I prefer to call them "rare". If you are going with a 2/3-piece wheel, try a powdercoated silver face, powdercoated silver hardware, with a brushed lip.

Kpela

The color of the car is the reason I even bought it ha. I was going to get a m5 before I came across the listing for it . I always had such plain colored cars so I couldn't miss up on a chance to get this one with the mileage it had on it . And I think I'm 100 percent going with gold. Velos sent me a photoshop of their wheel on my car with polished gold and honestly it even surprised me how good it flowed with the color of the car .

Julie@KonceptCars

Nice. Gold will give it a timeless look. It sounds like you are very familiar with forged wheels having owned HRE and considering Velos.

Another brand we like is RSV Forged. Personally, I think they have set themselves apart with their newest designs. There's also composite forged wheels which is a newer carbon fiber wheel technology.

Sorry to barge your post, but I get just as excited talking about wheels for other people's cars as I do my own. Please keep us updated on what you decide to go with.

Kpela

Oh yeah I've been through many different company's over the years . Hre, Ccw, bbs, the list goes on. Deff like seeing what different company's can do. As long as the design of the wheel looks good I give each company a chance to prove their worth.

And your not barging at all, i love talking about wheels just as much as the next guy. These kind of post are what helps the next guy decide on their own set .

hyperion667

choose!

Kpela

Lmao working on it !!!

Julie@KonceptCars

Or gal!
