M55 AMG Wheels

Hey guys, I've just bought some Gin-u-wine 18" AMG Alloy Wheels for my ML430. They only cost £1200 (about 2100 Dollars) for the package including Yokohama tyres. Think I've got myself a bargain. Seems that Mercedes has been clamping down on all the manufacturers making replica wheels. The retailer had previously been offered original genuine AMG wheels at a good price which means that I have made a huge saving. Just ordered the M55 grill from mymercedes.com along with the silver honeycombe lower grill. Already had a twin exit stainless steel custom exhaust fitted so my ride will be looking sweet once these wheels get fitted.

That was a nice price. I paid $2400 for the same rims but with ML55 OEM Dunlop SP9000s. I felt it was a good deal from tirerack.com at the time [they cost more now actually].

Thx, Ed
