Latest AMG-style 19" Split spokes
What do you guys think of these new wheels?
They are S63 inspired but with improved proportions and slim, part-split spokes.
They come in 19" x8.5 and 19"x9.5 ET38 in SILVER or TITANIUM , both with diamond polished face. At first impression they felt very light but I will have to weigh them to compare with my current set.
For now I just propped them up against my car to take some photos.
(You cannot see the brakes through the black wheel cover).
I am very tempted to buy a set...

Correct. AMG does not actually make its own wheels either. These are better finished than any Ronal/AMG wheel I ever saw at 1/3 price.
You can upgrade them every six months and not freak out when your wife kerbs them...

Ronal is a reputable wheel manufacturer, who are these replicas manufactured by???........looks can be decieving??...replicas tend to be made of cheaper materials, hence the lower price.

Isn't that sad...? Things like cast aluminium wheels, which AMG sub-contracts all over the globe, were never hi-tech enough to command the ridiculous prices they are asking! It's just "badge-engineering" and gouging AMG owners, who already overpaid for their vehicles.

Why do you think your Plasma TV and everything you buy nowadays costs less Made in China? Are they all rubbish?
