Keep the breaks silver other wise people might immediately think its a fake AMG.

**ir-ops** · 06-06-2008

have to agree with dan on that.
they look aggressive enough as is, no real need for anything further.

very original look, i 'll keep my OEM's!

, sorry same inside joke!
nice job!

do not paint your calipers!!!!!!!! totally cheapen your car if you do!

your wheels are sensational...i love the black lip!!!! makes a superb change from polished.
your car sits great, and looks so aggressive. CF spoiler will be a nice touch, and also look into CF bonnet aerowings?

congrats mate.....hope you enjoy it!

Very nice wheels! Looks great on your silver car. Good job.

I've got no problem with the tinting but I agree with Dan on the calipers, wouldn't do it.

Edit:BTW they look great on your silver, would look good on black as well, hint!

Humm, are you willing to make a small yet AMG size donation to the MJNW? (Mighty Joe Needs Wheels) Fund?

I could be persuaded.

**FishtailnZ** · 06-06-2008

Beautiful wheels!!! But I'd pass on the the painted caliper idea as well.

IIIMBPIII · 06-07-2008

Im passing on the calipers for sure thank you all for the great comments i have a CF rear diffuser coming and maybe a CF spolier with a couple other goodies! Off to the mountains talk to you all soon! Have a great weekend!!!!

**alroumi** · 06-07-2008

Great setup, looking forward to the results.

nice wheels, aggressive looking
but from the look in the picture, it's really low. You got H&R, which i believe is even lower than eibach (what I have), the fender would cut my tire if I turn and high a lil bump too fast

Yea I gotta take it in and have them grind it so its smoother that worries me also i have been driving very carefully since i have lowered it which I guess is a good thing!

Thank you all for the kind words really make you happy to see such positive comments on something youve invested a lot of money in!
