Staggering, and where can I buy chrome 19" AMG Monoblocks new?
I cant find them anywhere, not worried about price, just need anyone who carries them?!
Also...the Lowenhart 20s I bought....too big, so Im going to 19s. What would the ideal setup be on my 00 CL500? Should In stagger it or no? These rims will only be used in the summer, and I do alot of highway driving, but I also want good traction....the Monoblocks come in 19X8.5 and 19X9.5.
What rim and tire sizes should I be aiming for based on above info? I would prefer a lower profile tire....a 35 series....how about a 30? Obviously if these arent practical then please let me know the most practical.

So have you looked at the Wald D13 and Fabulous Profound and Profound-Dish? They look similiar to AMG monoblock, but since they are multi-piece ones, cost of course over $1K each. For the similiar price to monoblock, I will choose Wald D21. If you are interested, I have some pictures that I can e-mail to you (don't know how to attach picture here
).

depends on the weather
well, here's the deal ... while AMG does not chrome plate any wheels we do on a pretty regular basis .... now comes the interesting part ... about 2 years ago AMG changed wheels suppliers for the Monoblock and the new version of the wheels are so porous that the chrome plating process can not be made smooth and consistent ..... that's why chrome plated monoblocks are becoming so hard to find
