I was showing him that there are cars besides cars made in Germany that they look good on... And I know your not much into VIP thats why I also stated that these are all opinions. Dont worry, my post was in regards to them going on a SC too... I just thought a picture would be worth a thousand words.

Go for it indy-

Looks like this SC has AMG wheels and from what I can see it looks tight! Need a pic of the whole car though.

Pat,

I think it looks sweet. Do what pleases you and don't follow the crowd. Create your own unique style and trend.

Something like Autocouture Supremes and Work Euroline would look nice...If I had a Autocouture aerokit, then I would seriously consider these rims..

I dunno, for some wheels that look that damn plain that'd be a huge chunk of change to spend on the Work's. They just look too plain to me. I see too many crappy Benz's rolling around LA with monoblock style wheels, I just don't like it...you asked, I responded

Pat if you like it then go for it, then hit me up about your HP's...

My buddy Jahmall had some AMG wheels on his SC a couple of years ago. I just remember him going to have them drilled and refilled to make them fit the SC's bolt pattern. Those wheels just remind me of a headache and I don't like the style.

AMG wheels on a Lexus would be a little strange. I don't know how you would get the AMG logo off the wheel. The letters AMG are basically engraved into the wheel.

What about the issue of the AMG engraved into one of the spokes? If you can't get that logo off the wheel, I have a feeling you car will be plastered all over a MB forum with some not so flattering words attached.
