clk black series
I really don't understand the need to change what in my opinion is one the best looking original equipment wheels ever made. I have not seen one attempt that even comes close to looking as classy and purposeful as the originals.
I know that they are not the lightest wheels and can understand why carbon wheels would help if the last tenth was being shaved off on track, but on the cosmetic front I am yet to see an improvement.
There are many,many cars sold with hideous wheels by the manufacturer, endless opportunities for those that most look different from the pack. These wheels are only fitted to the black series and mark it out from other AMG models, to me, other whheels on the black series make it look like a "wannabe" - a tarted up CLK.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

While the other wheel you posted a while back that also appeared in some of the car mags was decent, I'm not feeling this one.
The stocker is pretty darn nice when it come to the BS and you can't say that about many MB stock wheels.
I'm liking 1 pc. zero lip wheels more and more all the time. Is it me or do multi pc wheels seem less and less popular?

Whats up with the way pics are processed... why make it borderline "300 The Movie" style. It doesnt do any service to potential customers who would rather like to see what the wheels REALLY look like.
As for the wheels, Im with the rest of the gang; its not CLK BS material and the car is too far away.
