Looks great

Baron7700 · 09-15-2007

what exhaust and diffuser is that?

**Bernd js** · 09-15-2007

Hi phatchink,

those rims look great! Really.
19'', right?

But what's the brand? Marianza?
Where are you located? UK?

Looks wonderful. What a difference a great set of wheels make. Money well spent. Rear spoiler, quad exhaust. Anything else planned? Exterior looks great without anything else. Good job!

**dsb** · 09-15-2007

Great looking wheels and car! Congrats! Now, lower it just a little.

noregret4life · 09-15-2007

Very Very nice! They match the paint very well... Enjoy, and keep them clean

watsons · 09-15-2007

Looks good!

Baron: Those are just normal AMG quads
Bernd JS: Yeah those are 19s, they are custom Works t1s rims made in Japan and i'm located in Hong Kong
DSB: If i lower it i'll scrape for sure in Hong Kong

Watsons: Sell me them Chrome Shark Fins@!! :P

I think i'm goina get chrome roll hoofs, aerofins, and maybe some HID fogs

**alroumi** · 09-16-2007

Did you have a dealer install them? How did u get them on, went out and purchased the stock parts and had a dealer swap out?

Dont they require a different stock bumper, or im assuming you got the amg body kit, which gave you the 2 pipe exhaust and diffusor and you just got the pipes swapped?

Very nice! What's the reason for inserting/placing the 1000HK currency on the wheel? What's the tradition behind it?

I think it just shows how wide the lip is.

**etyu** · 09-17-2007

And I thought it was some tradition, i.e., the money or dough will come "rolling" in

**Gabus** · 09-17-2007

Nice set of wheels

Then the question is: How wide is a 1000 HK??

Thanks,

so I might have difficulties to get them in Europe with the approval of the German authorities.

I guess around 3 inches?
Very correct width of the lip.

phatchink · 09-18-2007

baron: i specifically asked for the SLK55 rear's //amg kit so I didn't have to cut the bumper, so basically i planned ahead its an extra 2k to get the 55 front bumper which I decided against because I thought the sport bumper is nicer looking and I didn't want to give out a wannabe kinda feeling

hah i like the money rolling in bit, makes me wanna stick in all 4 rims, so they roll in 4 times as fast.

and its a 4 inch lip
