Observations about the AMG Double Spoke rim after 1 week
Here are my observations of the new 18" AMG Double Spoke rims after 1 week.
They look great. They give my car (CL55) a lot more character than the 5 spoke AMG rims.
The one negative thing I have to say is that these rims let a ton of brake dust through them and onto the side of the car ... And of course I'm **** ..
I remember the SLK32 guys talking about this very same thing over a year ago when the double spokes came out on the SLK32's .
Other than that, I give the AMG Double Spokes two thumbs up !
Maybe once I wear through my front pads I will replace them with a lower dust type.

I did wax, well, polish my wheels with multiple coats fo Zaino. The brake dust still flys through them and onto the side of the car though. The MB OEM brake dust is really sticky too.. Soft pads.

Love the rims. Did you get them directly from MB or from a wheel place? If you could let me know, and how much they were, I'd appreciate it.
