Default AMG wheels on the G8????
Hear me out...


These rims are discontinued (two years back), but they look sick on a G8..







Then i noticed a C63 in traffic today and thought hmmm... Let's see what i can come up with in terms of reps..

The result... MB511 19" GunMetal Machined Face Staggered Wheels Set - 19" Wheels - MB


The only real drawback is the big ass AMG logo..

You should check out the Teddy Bear rims. The G8 would be a sleeper. It's like some kid sees it and says look at that faggot ass whack G8 with the Teddy Bear rims. Then you smoke his ass.

That bolt pattern is wrong....isn't it?

At any rate, the AMG logo would be a deal killer for me.

Just got mine back from having the lifters replaced.

There are probably at least a dozen companies that build rims similar to the AMG ones. You slap the AMG's on the car and it screams poser. Get a set that look like the AMG's without the logo.

Looks great on that car! That wheel on the bottom with the "sport" center cap doesn't have the amg logo. How about those? (even though they're slightly different)

That's the same wheel thats on the red G8 that has been discontinued for a while.

I just did a side by side comparison to show the similarities.

Aha I get it now, that's an old factory wheel with no repro co.'s making it either. I'd do what Mirroredshades suggested if the bolt pattern is the same/offset?.
