Took a pic of my car with the new wheels today.

They are 19" AMG replicas ( don't know what car ) in flat black with an opaque/satin machined face.



I parked next to a co-workers Flat Black SL and just had to snap a pic with my cel phone.

Pewter FTW!

This looks solid. I also like the ones on that sl in the background. Funny thing is I saw a pewter E55 just last week with the wheels on tht SL and the concavity was spot on.

They look great but you said they are replicas? Doesn't it have an AMG imprint in the second picture?

They are replicas but they DO say AMG. They cost me $1600 with tires installed and I bought them locally. Considering that I live in PR I doubt anyone here would want them to be shipped...lol.

Looking good! If you are worried about brake dust maybe try this product below. I just bought it today and am hopeful it works as good as the video! If so, we got a miracle product here

The wheels are pretty easy to wash so I don't care much about brake dust.

I blew a tire out yesterday ( I have no freaking idea why ). I didn't hit a pot hole or anything...it just started to sound funny by the time I got home and the tire was flat. When I looked at it, it had a large rip on the sidewall. It's one of the Toyo T1R's too which are expensive. Took me 2 days to blow a tire.

Damn, u think the wheels have anything to do with it? U have a warranty on the tires I presume?

Nope...no warranty.

I doubt the wheel has anything to do with it, the tire has a small slit, maybe 1/2", as if something punchured it on the inside wall. I guess I must have run over something without noticing it.

Tomorrow I'm off to get a new one. Sucks that the front one couldn't have been the one to blow, it cost nearly half what the rear one costs.

Very nice, wheels and tires for $1,600 beat the hell out of $1,500 for a set of PS2s only.
