I went to have my tyres rotated and my tyre dealer says , hey how about a new set of mags...

I go yeh, whatever... How much ....

He says , as your a great customer bringin all your company fleet here and all...so...

Four Brand spanking new AMG big chrome lip mags fitted to my car for US $385.... smeggin unbloodybelievable ... and he got to keep my factory jobbies.


Pictures this evening...

 

 

I can't wait to see the pics. It sounds like you got a great deal.

 

and to boot when I got home I found that he painted my brake calipers black , so I stuck me Nismo stickers on...talk about service , didn't even know he had done that ...

Only concern I have is they appear to sit ( well the tyre part outside of the guards by about 1/2 inch) should this worry me ??..could be something to do with the offset..

They are AMG Mk VI 17" x 8" 43 offset

AMG makes some great wheels...however those would look a HELL of a lot better if they where 20x9 rather than 17x8.

 

to each is own but believe it or not im liking your stock wheels a hell of alot better .02 17's just seem way too small for the size of the vehicle maybe lowering it might do the trick BTW calipers with stickers look HOTT

 

Yeh I think I should drop it a tad as it has too much space in the arches..

Didn't want to go 20 which they had in stock because by the time I added tyres it would have cost +$3000 for the exact same rims.. where the $385 was a no brainer ...

 

I like them.

 

Sorry, but i like the stock ones better.

 

I thought you said the lip was chrome. It looks polished to me. At any rate, they look good to me. Drop it and you'll be good to go.

 

If you went with 235/55 R17 tires I think it would look much better. The lower profile tires make the wheels look too small for such a big and good looking Max.

 

I *love* your grille! So much better-looking than the stock. Where did
you get it from?

 

It is the stock grill for our Maxs , nobody makes an aftermarket one yet..

Don't think it can be transposed to US versions as our is attached to the bonnet -v- the Bumper/
