New Rims

Put on the new rims and finally took reasonable pictures, but it is obvious my picture taking skills are sub par. They are iForged Essen's 19s.

Nice, I like the style but not a fan of the high polish/chrome finish on a sports car. I prefer the andracite/gunmetal on red and darker color cars.



btw, why do you have two s500 4matics? I think one is more than enough.

Very nice wheels, good choice on the Precision Series with the larger rear lip. I think red cars that are brilliant such as yours can pull off lusterous finishes, in additon to the darker hued ones.

Very nice overall

I love your car. The wheels are too busy looking for me...I'm not a fan of the 3-piece wheels with the rivets. That being said it's looks good.

Thanks guys, I was thinking of going for a Hyper Black or the Anthracite, but didn't want something too close to the C32. It definitely is pretty flashy, maybe a little too much...

With the winters in Calgary, the AMGs act more of a snow plow, the W220s are reliable, good winter cars (for the wife and I). Got a good deal on one of them, the same price as the only E500 4Matic in the city at the time.

Looking great! Great choice! What dimensions?

Is it me or the tires look small on the rim?

Congrats on your wheels. It's always nice to customize your car. It is a unique car color/wheel combo.

Looks good!! CongratS!! I like the long spoke mesh!
Was just wondering what size tires u go with on the rear.... Seems to have a little more room on the wheel to accomodate wider tires.
