Sorry to hear that, I'm sure they will get it taken care of for you. As for design this style is actually derived from our three piece CV1 model:

You are thinking monoblock for your w221?
I'm looking for the perfect wheel to compliment the car, regardless of monoblock or multipiece. So far, either I haven't liked what was available compared to the OEM AMG wheels or what does look good, doesn't fit.

My car is a W220 / 2006 S65. Really liking these wheels though

The car used is actually my car. I painted inside the headlights body color. I painted that logo back onto the calipers after I painted them yellow.. You can not find a better set of wheels for your SL I will tell you that. I took off a set of HRE for these.

Sorry Jay, I missed this follow up post. If you would like pricing on a set with tires and all, let us know.

We have a online dealer, that can take really good care of you.

There is no change in headlight output as they are projectors. There is no tint on the lights. It is just the inner housings painted body color..
