Congrats on the car! I would leave the wheels as is for now. Enjoy them for a few months and see what you think. While I typically like the black face/chrome lip stock wheels (which I have), the grey provides a bit of contrast since your car is black.

Thank you!! It's the BlackBoost intake. I wouldn't say much difference with the sound but certainly the performance. Not to mention it makes the engine compartment look that much better.

Have you got any dyno charts to back that up? The stock filter and boxes are more than capable of flowing more air than the car could ever use even at maximum revs (and how often is the car really revving that high) especially on a turbo engine where the turbos suck in all the air the cylinders need rather than just relying on a descending cylinder to pull it in like a M156.....so id be surprised if there is a difference you could actually feel. Restrictive airboxes on anything but the most highly tuned cars are a thing of the past....like the 70s or 80s! Happy to be proven wrong though. If you want a filter to do what its there for (filter the crap out of the air!)...you have to go a long way to beat a paper one too.

There's a whole thread on this topic - with dyno graphs attached.

id do some research before making this statement bud. You are so wrong. But I get it a lot of people have been fooled into believing the stock amg boxes have this god like ability because it says amg on it lol. I’m not gonna attach the link, if you really want the info it’s out there for you to see. Real dyno,data backed with logging data , backed by waste gate duty cycle data . You go gain depending on tune can be anywhere from 20-40hp mid to top end.
