I'm going for a clean Grand Sport (GS) Luxury look (AMG, M Series, TRD on and on). I'm not a fan of faux 3pc bolts, but I couldn't pass it up. I didn't like em either until I did some poking around seeing different setups. Fits very well on big body Benz. That's the purpose of this entire 1st gen movement of our, I'm sure everyone has the means to cop out and get something more mainstream. But we dare to be different. But 2turbo4u, I got dis

I have about 10 projects going on this car, its gonna be smoov

Maybe y'all were hatin on these wheels cuz they don't cost $4000 or have a 15" lip, or whatever it may be. They came in finally and they look very sharp. Can't wait to show the finished project.

I didn't want the hassle of dealing with the bolt pattern... I'm not trying to create a benz, I'd get a Banz. I like the subtle yet aggressive appearance style of the amg model.
