Car looks fantastic and the wheels really complement the car very well too. Glad you like them

I wasn't trying to undercut or undermind anyone's feelings or opinions about the cost of wheels, apologies

One thing is for sure, the thing looks great!

What profile HEIGHT are you running F/R that either has resulted in a problem or so far avoided one? I'm getting to know the rim repair guys too well.

Stock profile, which in theory has plenty of cushion. My wheel guy says he sees this all the time on Mercedes, so I'm hoping maybe my new wheels are stronger. Fingers crossed!

Make sure you are running the appropriate tire pressure. Have seen that contribute to bent wheels.

The HREs look GREAT!

I'm in process of raising my profile from 35 to 40. I run psi +1 in town and 'extra load' psi on long hwy trips.
Previous owners have replaced 3 MB rims . Inherited an AMG-replica set. As I increased my driving in the City, cracks occurred when there were none before.
Thanks for your feedback.
Beautiful ride.
