New (to me) 2016 AMG GTS
Hey everyone, have been lurking for a bit and figured I should finally introduce myself. I purchased my 2016 AMG GTS about a month and a half ago and have been loving it so far. Pretty well loaded car with a $160k MSRP. Carbon Ceramic Brakes, Dynamic Plus Package, Carbon Fiber Trim and Cross Bar, Panorama Roof, and the Burmester Sound System. The car also has Renntech springs and some exhaust mods.
Prior to purchasing, I was able to track down the previous owner, who happens to be a member on here as well. He also had a few parts (Eurocharged tune, wheel spacers, car cover, etc.) that he gave me for a really fair price.
Since purchasing, I have switched out the 5 spoke wheels for another OEM style that I prefer (5 spoke wheels are for sale if anyone is interested). I also installed a carbon fiber spoiler from Darwin Pro Aero. In my opinion it looks closest to the GTR, which is what I was going for. Then I wrapped the chrome pieces and part of the wing in gloss black. Very happy with how it turned out and the car gets attention everywhere it goes. I feel like I got 95% of a GTR for about $50k less and couldn't be happier with the car. I have driven pretty much every car out there, other than some hyper cars, and this thing scares me more than most of them. Super powerful, very tail happy, but sounds amazing and so much fun to drive. My dog also loves it and strongly prefers it over my other cars.

Thank you! The old wheels are in great shape and I am sure someone will love them, but the style just wasn't for me. I think the new wheels have a more aggressive, racing look to them that I just love.
Congrats, very nicely modded, and black cars are generally my fave (even though I bought a silver one). I have the same wheels you added and love everything about them, just wish they were not so hard to clean.
