So you don't actually know the part numbers?

Are they genuine AMG brakes or fakes?

HI BRIAN_170

I will try to ask the specialist about the part number for those brakes.

Fakes? Who will produce fake brakes for MB??

HI apricotscrub,

I paid HK11,500 for the AMG 17" wheels with Dunlop SP9000 tyres for the compete set of 4.

I think 17" or 18" is up to you, man. Performance is affected by the size of the tyres, the profile ( ie. the total diameter of the wheel incl. the tyre. Of course, you will get more grip when using 18" wheels as the profile of the tyre is lower. But. less comfort as the result.

I am happy with my existing combination. The tyres is a little bit softer which gives me little bit more comfort using the lowered and harder springs and absorbers.

Hi dumbdumb1 ,

Unfortunately, I rarely go to hk side. If you have chance to go to Tai Po, you may probably see my little baby passing by...

This is a really beautiful car!
I love the paint, it's the same as many Brabus models.
