HOLY DAMN THAT PORSCHE IS HOT!!!!

I normally prefer monoblocks - cheaper, lighter, and strong enough.
Too bad I don't think those wheels would fit an SLK so well...

Monoblocks are traditionally lighter, but stronger.
Being forged in the highest quality aluminum, I would assume they are strong
"enough". Depends how extremely crappy the roads are that you drive on.

The lip is definitely a different look. For example on the M3s, I prefer no lip, concave spokes, 1 piece wheels. On the SLK, I like wheels with a little dish and 3D.
I wish I could see these M40s, never heard of them.
check it out in 6speedonline under the AMG section "Black for my Black series" or something close to that title.

Wyatt. what do you mean they won't fit the SLK so well? do you mean visually they will look wierd? like being 19" they take over the car too much? too prominent? the M40, which is the P40 for porsche, is specifically for the mercedes..... but, that porsche is hot for sure....

I can imagine those M40's in Anthratic with silver pinstripe around the edges in 19" for my SLK55. It would look hot.

B.A is far from anthratice but is a nice second in my list, I love the finish of Brushed alluminium

They will phsyically fit, I am just worried about the design fitting the lines of the car aesthetically. It might be HOT, it might be NOT, really can't decide and can't imagine...
