Thumbs up Benz no dubz ? Pics of New AMG Style Painted Titanium Grey 19"s

Yes I have sold my 20's to a forum member and went with a painted AMG style 19" to completely change the look.

Damn I knew it was only a matter of time

I thought of doing the same but w/20"s
Only thing why of all people you were Mr. dub why not stick w/20" in this AMG65 style they'd be the ULTIMATE!
Don't get me wrong they are damned hott nice work guy
I wish you had the AMG bodykit so I could see how they'd look on my car

I did not raise it. those other pics were take on a slope.. These pics here are a better look at the ride height.. I might want to drop another 1/2 inch though

Beautiful! Wouldn't lower it anymore--perfect as is.

Any rubbing? Did you roll your fenders?

Thanks Jayhawk I just took 20's off and had to roll the fenders because of the drop on it.. I do not believe I would have to roll the fenders with this 19 setup at all. Not even close to rubbing.

It is about a 1.25inch drop. I modified the front bracket. and the rear was drop by adjusting the sensor mount slide.

Thanks D-2, I cracked myself up when I thought of the name change, so I did it.

BK_S500 -- I drilled the(faux) rivets out and sent them in for paint(about 70 per wheel).

chuckace -- Thanks and Yes there is a softer grippier ride on the 19's fo-sho.

Yabadi -- Thanks bro

Zinik Website shows no black wheels, including the Sabinis: http://www.wheeltech.com/wheels/zinik/index.html

You might have to have them painted black.

I think color would look good. No offense, but I am not crazy about the Sabinis.

ps. the color of my wheel is a dark titinanium grey metallic.
