Please tell me what you honestly think about gunmetal on silver.

I didn't want black wheels for some reason, as I see it everywhere.

Forgestar F14's
-18x8.5 FR; Michelin PS2 245/40/18

-18x10REAR; Toyo T1R 285/35/18 *Maybe a bit too big, but I love the extra grip. I can't lower the car all the way in the rear, I start to touch at -1.4 to -1.6.
Anyone else running 10" rears with ELM? Should I go with 285/30?

ELM V2 remote setup: -2.0FR and -1.2 in rear, and no rub now after I think I wore some of the edges of the Toyo's by riding low

nice selection of wheels and height. I have the ELM V3 on my E500 and went 2.0 F and 2.2 in the rear. One finger gap between the tire/wall.

Absolutely LOVE it!!

They look great, much better than black IMO...

Gunmetal is the new black, but I may be a little biased.

emoving

Gunmetal on silver is the best combo!

tgoss

Emoving: Your car is hot! I was gonna say something about it being the only other Gunmetal on Silver AMG i've seen. But now we've got btmontalban too, who's got a sexy *** whip.

Btmontalban: For a second there, I honestly thought you took a pic of my car or something, TWINS! Then I noticed no Purple Heart plates.

I'm loving these a lot more than the old chrome stockies, which you can see in the pics.
Glad you guys like em. I am in love with them!

Looks good! What kind of wheels?

HeissRod

Looks like 20" Forgestar F14s.

bmontalban

replicas of the VMR 710. 19x95 et 35 19x9 et 35. powder coated gunmetal. going to slap on some 10mm spacers up front.

HeissRod

Well, I was wrong.

tbal

Looks sick! Perfect combo with the color and wheels for sure.

Lycan

Looks great

BenzoBoi

Mesh gunmetal wheels on silver W211's FTW!

I won't bother posting cause I'm sure ya'll sick of my car already

A LOT of people are rocking those wheels now a days...Nice, cheap, and light. Can't complain!

MBFLO

gunmetal IMO is total Win thesedays .. especially on a silver ride .. looks great .. even tempted to thro some on my old black AMG

Showroom Motorsports

nice! Forgestar's are a great choice. Really liking the contrast of the gunmetal against the silver

dansamg

Love the look, great combo.

mchapparone

I really like the look of these. What are the weights on them? I thought VMR only did wheels for BMW and Audi though? Is the replica company a reputable company?

Max.H

Very nice!!

infantry

Wow, I really thought those were Forgestar F14's also.

Thanks again for the compliments everyone, I do sometimes wish I found a flint grey E63.

I still wonder how the ride would have been if I went with 19's. 20's are just a bit too much for me, as I still want ride comfort, I hate AZ gutters that are inconveniently placed at intersections. I also figured the cost of some 19" rubber, compared to 18's. Remember I'm a 22 year old retired soldier.

Hey, they look great . I'm in Gilbert and have the 19" black forgestars, and the ride is excellent except for when I slam it. If you are thinking about going up in size then don't worry

i cant remember who the actual mfg is. i did some searching and places that used to carry them, 323motorsports, sonictuning, and a few others, dont seem to have thm anymore. They are a bit portly just over 30lbs for the rears. They have held up to my daily commute through LA's pothole riddle streets and hwys. The rears have a nice concave to them also, probalby similar to the forgestar, but its a more pronounced/steep as it gets closer to the middle.
