Hello all

Bought myself a pre Xmas present in the form of some secondhand 20inch AMG reps

The standard wheels are staying - the 19" amg and I will use them when I fancy a change.

However the 20s came up on eBay and I decided to give them a go!

I am not TOTALLY sure about them - they certainly make the car a little more modern. Personally I would have a preferred a deeper rear dish but they are growing on me!

Before and afters!

iPad pics of the new wheels don't help - ill get some done on the SLR camera!

I'm not feeling the love!!
I reckon it's the quality of the second photos. I'll get some proper ones up tomorrow!

you've really fked up what was a beautiful looking car!! I know it's yours and all...but the lowering looked like the suspension collapsed and now you've stuck those horrid wheels on it frown at least it can be rectified easily enough though!
Ouch! That was harsh!! The suspension is adjustable and can be raised or lower with a press of the button on the dash!
They were built like that although not that low!

As you say, originals are gorgeous too and will be staying amd changed as and when I fancy a change!
