If you're interested in creating a wheel like this for your vehicle please Call, PM or E-mail us!

I love concave wheels. I never was a huge fan of the lip fad. The concave style just looks more menacing to me and just says: "I take THICK THICK tires because I am baaaaad"

Hmm tires don't look to be the right size at all. Plus the offset does not look right either. Looks like the wheels are sticking out to far. Any pics from the front angle?

19" Step-lip contour is the way to go if you want that that multi-piece concave look and keep the weight down

For the expert.. A real Black Series

On 2nd glance? Look @ how thin-skinny & wavy the sideskirt is on the Rennen model??? Amazing how off fake Black Series badged kit is, even the v12 badges look crooked why even bother? I mean it's still a nice kit but why lame badging? Prolly another 500

You can clearly see that it's a vert but what IAMGOD means is that no one said it was a BS in the first place.

Brian which BS kit is that?

Exactly.

Never mind, some people are so far behind in the race they actually think they are in front.

ricker,
you are just too good with it...its insane. the only thing i noticed was the crease for the vert roof but wasnt sure if the bs had it neway. the lettering is all cockeyed but theres no way i wouldve noticed it had you not mentioned something. the spoiler and exhaust i wouldnt have found even if i had a day to stare at the damn thing. you really know your **** brother. i cannot for the life of me understand why ppl feel the need to put that its a bs if its not; especially if its a damn convertible which everyone knows the bs isnt...kinda makes them look like a douche. if it was me id either leave just the sl65 on there or have it naked if it was a 55 or 63 cause there is no ****ing way id "bs kit" a 500 or 550 so i could be eaten alive by a ****ing bmw 335 or something and look like a total tool. sorry for the rant; just really amazed by your knowledge.

It does say it on the rear deck lid! How blind can you be not spotting that? The typical "Black Series" sticker sits right under the AMG badge...

Never once did the OP or anyone else mention it was a real Black series - it is quite obvious from the outset that it is not, first and foremost being a convertible. You seem to want to point out what everyone already knew. Kind of reminds me someone that sees a girl with fake ***** and starts running around screaming and pointing FAKE FAKE FAKE!

Thanks for the advice sharksterrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
