Finally...The Wheels!

AMG Replicas 20x8.5 & 9.5. + 40 front & + 45 rear. The offset is perfect and probably couldn't have gotten away with much more with the H&R springs.

Mine is measuring 2 ticks under 3" all the way around with one spring booster in the front. Not sure how much, if any, the spring booster is doing for height adjustment in the front. I measured just at rim edge to edge of fender. Hope that helps.

Looks sick! Love that first pic, the paint almost looks matte for some reason (my paint had that same look when I first bought it, before I applied wax).

The rims are about an inch too big for my personal tastes, but great look anyway, and IMO the AMG wheels are an ideal look.

Well done Piper !!
Nice fit!
Thank you for posting the offsets. Close fit you say, but is there any rubbing?
Good mid winter inspiration.

What vendor?

Clear side markers came from random Ebay seller for $50.

Thanks to all for the kind compliments!

I was very nervous that the +40 front was going to rub, but all is good with a 245/30 front and 275/30 rear. I've got plenty of clearance, but quite sure anything more aggressive, or a taller front tire might have problems.

I picked these up from an Ebay vendor for $800 NIB. If interested in the same guy I dealt with, PM me and I will give you his contact info. He has them in chrome, machined/gun metal and machined/silver like mine.

Yes, good choice!

I'm curious, do you notice a dramatic lose of torque and HP? :-)

Looks great, Piper. Can you post a dead side on photo, just trying to get a better idea of the look of the 20's. I'm considering similar 19's as one option.

I was going to put ml63 rep on my white E. After I saw you car, I changed my mind to these rims. It's perfect. Can you tell me what are you tires size?

Thank you! The side markers were very easy and only takes about 10 minutes. Search side markers in this forum and you will find the simple step by step DIY.
