Definitely keep your RENNtech wheels. Strong, light, and looks mean as heck.

Sorry you couldn’t find a buyer.

MJ, those wheels are sick on the W211. Wow. Especially a Silver car with Black rims, looks great. Maybe she will grow to like them? You must try and keep them if possible. In the meantime, take as many pics as you can!

Think you should try the Volk GT-V's. They're 5 split spoke, 2 piece forged, but more curve than AMG IV 2piece:

Center can be anything you want. Doesn't have to be chrome...LOL. They have a gunmetal type color for the center that would work well.

The strength of the RennTech wheels is in their performance They are not just another expensive wheels, they are very well engineered and arevactually very high performance rims. The RennTech wheels are almost as strong as the AMG rims yet they weight 45% less I've witnessed them at the track time and time again.
