Monoblocks from GT63s
This is kind of a nothing thread...but my friend just got his order guide for his GT63s, and there they were.
Is anyone going to give these a go at 21"?

Ugliest wheels Mercedes makes. Even a sin on the GT 4 door.
Might as well just buy some hub caps

In my humble peasant opinion they’re only acceptable on a Maybach as a faux Bentley heritage wheel. The fact that AMG is offering them on their GT63 is astonishing. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should!!

Just to be clear this is not April Fools...I actually love these things.
It is an AMG throwback that in my peasant opinion are blasphemy on a Maybach or Bentley or anything else.
This wheel is the most AMG thing you can put on an AMG car, besides some Turkish guy's signature on the engine.

A homage?
I know it's a question of taste but I think these wheels are as ugly as the old Brabus Monoblock II's.

Same sidewall thickness, different overall diameter. The front tire+rim is 32mm taller than stock 20"s, you lose 16mm of arch gap. Rears are 38mm taller, resulting in ~19mm of arch gap loss...and then there's offset, which I can't find for the monoblocks. Some rubbing is likely, depending on offset.
