Thumbs up Is this even possible?

Maybe better posted in the AMG forum, but does anyone know the backspacing for the Monoblock wheels?
Two of my favorite MB pieces...AMG Monoblock wheels onto a GL.
I have no idea whether it will actually fit but I like the retro factor.
Consider this a rebellion against 22" of spindly aluminum with a layer of electrical tape wrapped around it.
Cast your vote if you so care.

You should replace "meh" with "feh!" for the haters.

I voted yes, but to be honest I don't think you will find any that will come close to working.

as much as i love the classic look of the amg monoblocks (have a set on my w140), i think it would look really weird on the gl.

you'd have to find a set of 19" amg monoblocks made for the w140 s-class, and it is pretty hard to find a good set for sale.

i suppose the next time i have to rotate the wheels in the spring on the s and gl, i'll try to mount the amg monoblock on the gl to see if it fits.
