Which Would You Choose?

Here at Wheels Boutique we've had quite a lot of fun with AMG's GT-S. Being ADV.1's largest dealer in the world gives us a lot of opportunity to play around with many different setups. Reflecting back on a few of them got us to wonder: which would you pick and why? Tell us by commenting below and feel free to PM us for details, availability, and pricing.

(1) ADV5.2 Track Spec CS
(2) ADV RSQ Track Spec
(3) ADV10 MV2 CS

None of the above.

You put oversize wheels in a photo shoot standing still to fill up a wheel well

And you don't drive the car every day and understand that 21s kill the ride. And those cars are so slammed that it's all just a big photo game.

And so ... It's misleading. Sorry.

ouch tough crowd! I will play (1) ADV5.2 Track Spec CS

That photo shoot with the GTS actually gave me the inspiration for a 19/20 setup on my McLaren 12C. I went from P101's. It later gave me the inspiration to buy a GTS! Thanks for sharing!

I would pick #1 in 19/20 set up out of your 3 pics but none of them are my favorites.

I can personally attest to the ride quality being more than adequate on these cars with a 20"//21" setup. I can do so because two of these shoots were from the car that we here at Wheels Boutique owned. Sure, things become a little stiffer but nothing unbearable and certainly nothing that us as men can't handle.

The point of me creating this thread was to focus on the styling of the wheels in relation to the car's design itself. It was meant to inspire and provoke imagination from current (and hopeful) AMG GT owners. And I'm glad that it has done just that

I'd say #1....just looks right. Plus it's been my screensaver for a bit.

I think that people who are perceiving the wheels as too big should consider that the cars are also lowered. Going up an inch in diameter on the wheels only adds a 1/2 inch of height in the wheel well. When I look at my car's stock set up I feel like there is plenty of room in the wheel well to go up a 1/2 inch without making the wheels look too big.

Yeah your right, I can't say I'm used to the stiffness that men are capable of handling. You surely have more experience....

And maybe you just alienated half the population at your boutique "wheel sales" . Great business you have going there.....

I was addressing all of us in the thread who happened to be men.

We love all our clients equally. I mean who doesn't love a woman who loves cars? Really

Plan accordingly! These custom forged bad boys take about 4 to 5 weeks to manufacture. Make sure you hit me up when you're ready and I'll take care of ya

Maybe a Brushed Gunmetal like this perhaps?
