Hmm, i have no words lol
oh well, let's see how far these last me. I already put abt 500-600 miles on them, looks new still. I got these for $375...with labor and wheel alignment. Ehh, not bad i guess lol American tires would put me upto $550-750.

no not per tire lol for the whole set i meant. I would never spend 750 bucks on a single tire... My paycheck won't back that bill up lol
n i paid $375 for 4 tires, mounting, special locked lug nuts, balancing, alignment n that caliper paint

I'll do that later when i replace my rotors and brake pads. I'll leave em as it is now...maybe till summer or so. If possible, i might end up getting bigger calipers, AMG if it isnt too expensive

2009 E550 2000 Honda civic mash n' go
those are 20x9 +32 n 20x10.5 +42
245/35
275/30
Thinking to go 285/30 on next round of tires in rear to make it look wider or i might keep 275 as the wheels stick out from the tires a little for the aggressive look...which will be made better when i get coils to drop it
I think with +45 offset, or even with +42, it could fit 11 inch in rear but lot aggressive style. I was getting a deal on CLS type wheels, 20x11 in rear for $1200, i thought that would be way too wide to fit so i didnt get em. They were pretty damn deep tho!!!!!

Since my rear calipers are small, I'll just glue the AMG cap on them lol a friend of mine used super glue or silicone to put Brembo brake'caliper cap on his oem toyota brakes lol looks original tho.

This is garbage... seriously. This is one of the dumbest things along with adding alteza taillights to cars. Let's bring attention to a FAKE item on the car that after about 5 seconds looking at it anyone will realize that it's just a cover. This is as bad as slapping an AMG badge on the back trunk of a n e350...
People know how these attach to the caliper right... you use some type of adhesive. Good luck removing them when you need to service your brakes or anything of that nature. Put the $120 or more towards an ACTUAL BBK that will give you nice stopping power, and BE LEGIT...
