Opinion needed my fellow C L members. . .
Ok so long story short I would like the Opinion of my esteemed CL members...
Ive always liked the way AMG wheels look & I found out they would fit the ( h ) so I bought a Set of AMG 20" wheels on eBay (Mad Cheap). Not sure if im feeling it 100% think I might have them repainted/coated graphite or sell them back on eBay but who knows...
So im asking my fellow Lexus owners for there opinion from the pics below...
Thx for your time Gentleman & please don’t be too harsh!! lol

I think they look great. You probably wont be able to find a 5 spoke wheel that looks that good. I think they look great. I have to agree I wouldnt put rims from a different car on my Lexus but to each his own. Only about 10-20% of the people will even know they are from a benz CLS

Yeah I feel ya, thats why i spoke to the shop that would be repainting them & the owner told me that he can fill in the AMG with some special kind of compound smooth it out & paint it the graphite color or whatever color i want!!! & the funnt thing is that this wouldnt be the 1st time he's done this to a set of AMG wheels...
Go figure huh....lol

Like someone said, don't the benz wheels need to be redrilled due to the bolt pattern? If it works for you, go ahead but from my point of view... I wouldn't bother. Plenty of other wheels to pick from that will fit and come in whatever finish you want.

Well here in Mass the roads friggin suck & every Lexus ive owned I have rimed up (take that back every car ive owned) & they have always ended up getting a bend or something retarded happening to them!!!
So this time around I wanted a set of rims as strong as factory & looked pretty decent/good. I thought about the LS460 19's but ehhhh..... (besides the LS460 bolt pattern is different) So when I found out the AMG 20's fit & look pretty damn good (@ least to me!!!)
I jumped @ them!!! & come on if you could get a set of authentic 20" AMG wheels off eBay for $455 you’d buy them too, cuz if you don’t keep them you can always flip them for more later!!
Oh & the bolt pattern works NO DRILLING @ ALL!!!!!

I say go for it. A lot of people are **** about putting other car maker's rims on our Lexus, but I wouldn't be surprised if the AMG rims are a lot better in quality than our OE Lexus rims, so I say why not.
