They look great. I chose them over the cross-spoke, because of their concave design, and they show more of the brakes. They look more aggressive due to having a lip. I don't like how the spokes are pushed way out on the cross-spoke.
They look great in motion, too.

I actually don't buy the theory that they are softer than other low profile wheels, even though I slightly bent one, too, by hitting the edge of a raised slab of pavement. Given that it destroyed the tire, the damage to the wheel was surprisingly minimal. Just a slightly bent lip. I run them at 33f/32r. There's not much sidewall, so don't run them through potholes that are deeper than the sidewalls. I've bent previous low profile wheels in the same manner. I made the highway authority pay for the damage and moved on driving on them just fine, avoiding potholes as I've always done with low profile tires.

You're a goose mate.....
You don't buy the theory but you've bent your silly wheels too 🤣🤣🤣
They are soft. I've bent a set and so many others have as well. Believe what you want....

No, I said I don't buy that they are softer than any other low profile wheels. Read before you comment. You gonna bend low profile wheels regardless, if plowing through potholes.

Don’t want to be extra careful and worried while driving 😬
They're good wheels mate just make sure the pressures are up and you won't need to worry.
Be very careful if buying a used set. Check them thoroughly for existing cracks or buckles and don't just take a seller's word for it as many cracks are hard to spot especially at the spokes.
Also posted some more damage photos in that topic bro.

And just to clarify, AMG didn't change the recommended tire pressures. 44f/39r as mentioned in the other thread is just the normal load recommended pressure for speeds up to 180 mph. Here in the USA the recommended pressure on the door is 46f/48r, because by law they have to put the highest recommended pressure on the door sticker. Doesn't mean that's what you should run.
And just to clarify, AMG didn't change the recommended tire pressures.
Maybe in your country they didn't but they changed them in Australia.
Obviously that doesn't matter because you're head is so far up your bum and you think you know everything just because you "picked up your facelift from Germany".
Alright Superswiss, if you say so 👍
Keep running your tyres at 33/32psi if that makes you happy but don't try and write off other people's experiences and pretend to know everything.
Your advice of 33/32psi is not safe for these wheels, so stop trying to force your idea that it's fine when both Jimmy and me have proven it's not.
Every single post we make, you're there like a bad smell. Talking about your 32/33psi...... fark me dead 🤣🤣🤣
Well I could see why running 32/33psi would bend the rims. Should be a little higher for the safety of rims and tires.
On my sedan I run 38 front 34 rear.
In regards to my black cross spoke on sedan, the wheels are solid and has handled the nyc bumpy roads without a blemish. Crossing fingers for the future.
