Refinished OEM AMG wheels

OK - so here is my story. Wanted original OEM AMG wheels for my CLK55 as I was getting tired of the chrome monoblock VI look. I bought (2) 18x8.5 rears and fitted them with 255/35 R18 XL Hankook ventus V12 tires. I then tried them on the fronts to see if the offset was ok, and they fit fine. The tire is nice and flush with the fender too which was the look I wanted. Then I bought (2) more of the exact same and fitted them to the rear with spacers so the rears were flush with the fenders as well....very happy with results

when i was looking at rims, i saw these C class rims but didn't like that bend
just before it intersected the rim. ended up with the 'flatter' 211 E-class AMG
variant. liked them much more.

Sharp! The nice thing about your setup now is you can actually rotate the tires.
