Opinions are like a$$holes....everybody's got one, but I'd ditch those 3.2 and AMG logos....your car would look sooo clean without them. Keep the car " period", those style emblems never came on the car....at least find an repro AMG emblem from the era. BTW, the wheels look great.

I'm with him. the 3.2 is passable though not period accurate. The AMG logos are just posing. I kinda like the rims, though.

I'm not usually a fan of anything non-Merc but these actually look good. If I couldn't have these I'd go with the silver and aluminum 18" offset AMGs from that era. Good job. Also I think I spotted Fox Body Mustang headlights adapted to fit?

i have to be honest. when i saw it i said to myself 'ugh must be a kid and he'll soon slam the poor thing" . iguess i'm a bit of a 'leave well enough alone' kind of guy. i don't like too many body kits out there for any car. my thinking is that the designer had his vision and i shouldn't mess with it. BUT,BUT,BUT.
HONESTLY , THE MORE I LOOK AT THOSE RIMS-- I LOVE THEM!!
What : kind are they?
size are they?
did they set you back?
honestly, give me any info you can. i love them!
