FWIW, I didn't read TennesseeZ4's response as being "nerve touched" or "touchy, touchy".
TennesseeZ4, my car came the 19" Multispoke wheels and I had been considering whether to change them out. I like the wheels you chose as they are not as radical as some of the other ones out there. You have got me thinking about that again!

The wheels look really good but I'd hate to keep them clean.
Over and Out!

No offense intended old boy, sorry if it came across that way; just stating that one of the 'benefits' of MB ownership for years has been the pleasure of cleaning that lovely brake dust from the wheels. They do seem to cake a bit more than other brands. I have tried alternative pads, but keep coming back to the OEM's for the wear and the rotor life. So I do apologize if my comments appeared to be, or were interpreted to be, off putting. My comments were not intended to be more than a statement. I should think I owe you a pint?

The new wheels look great, nearly identical to the BBS style that I really like. The brushed look is good, personally prefer it to the chromed out look.
It will be interesting to see if you continue to have cracked wheel issues with the new wheels; if so it will say a lot about the MBZ/ AMG factory wheels.
Enjoy!
