Arrow Finally Installed the AMG Hammer's

What's up everyone!

For those of you that know. I got some OG AMG Aero I Hammer's awhile ago. I finally got around to installing them tonight. AMG Hammer 17 x 8 ET 28 with Falken Azenis ST-115 rubber. 225/45-17's

I had them refinished. Fixed curb rashes, lip bents and surfaces repainted. here are the pictures before they got mounted and balanced.






Here are some teaser pictures for now. I wasn't able to get pictures of the full car. By the time I left TWS it already got dark so attempting to take pictures was worthless.





Stay tuned for more pictures. Big thanks to TWS for quality work as always.

Yeah, looks like tomorrow I'll be bringing it in to replaced the worn out bump stops and roll the fenders a little bit more. Although, I believe once the front right bump stop is replaced with a new one, the rubbing will be gone. Also, going to order some AMG spring travel limiter and get some AMG fender spacers once I get get ahold of Ben...

He called around for the center caps but no luck with those. I'm just going to try to borrow Alon's and have a shop make me new ones. Blank or with the MB logo, we'll have to see. It doesn't look that bad with out the center caps.

EDIT: Took some pictures a couple minutes ago. Let me know what you think.

Looks great. one word of advice avoid any and all potholes and any hard ridges in roads. The Hammer wheel are not the strongest.

I love your lips

I absolutely love the polished lip. The first picture of the wheel with a black background is truly stunning. One of these days I am going to have to look into getting my lips polished on my little 16” x 7.5” ET37 Monoblock. Aero I wheels. I guess I have little baby hammers.

If only I had polished lips, but at least I have center caps on my baby hammers.

Yeah, I really do need those center caps, but it's not bugging me. I'll get them when I can get them.

So...Alon!?! lol

Don't know about the amber corners, I don't really like that look and it'll ruin my whole cars appearance. the "smoked" look. I have considered side markers though. Those will probably be in the near future.

Ksing44,

I agree. the polish lips look amazing. I'm suprised on how good they came out. You're lucky your wheels have center cap with the diameter size of 3". By the way, when are you going to get some updated pictures? lol

Honestly? The hammer wheel is the most disgusting wheel to have ever been designed, that along with the '98 CLK320 steel weel. WTF was Mercedes thinking?!

You should have gone for mono II's.


or you could've gone gangsta w/ 18's, albeit being replicas, they are tight w/ mad lip

If I get some polished lips, maybe then I will have to take some new pictures. For now, there really is no reason to get more pictures, unless you want to see my damaged plastic from when the knucklehead hit me. It will be fixed Monday, but all I am looking for is for my car to look exactly the same. I could take a picture and say, hey, my car looks the same still. I guess I could also take some “artsy-fartsy pictures” with crazy angle shots or very sweet backgrounds (lol), but I like to keep it simple, since I think the car should be the focus, since it is already art. Hopefully, I will be able to take a picture in 10 years and then again in 20 years, just to show everyone that my car still looks the same.

Good luck with your new wheels.

Did you ever see this one? lol I am sure you did.

Pffft Mike. you wish you had original AMG Aero 1 Hammers on your old w124...

They are the best looking AMG wheel every made...

LOL. Mike you clown.

Alon, no worries. I'm not too worried about the caps. Whenever you can is all good. Just try to get that car fixed so you can attend our meet next week!

and...look what I picked up today Alon.

It only costed me $58 with my discount at the dealer. List price I believe is 80 dollars. Not bad, although I think I might have taken the last one at the westcoast warehouse so if you order it, it might have to come from the east coast.
