Amg monoblocks refurbishment

[astamir]

Hi guys
Got a set of Amg mono 2 in 18" they are as you can see in a rough condition and planing to refurbish them
Doing the inner part in black and the outer lips diamond cut polished or shall I keep them in original silver?
Any tips suggestions and advices will be very much appreciated

Colour is personal preference and depends on vehicle colour really

The car is in silver as in this pic but it's w208 model

Those centres are gunmetal grey.

Should look ok , i think the grey and silver works better than black and silver personally. Bit more subtle , not so 'in your face' but it depends on what you want.

Don't tint the lights and all the windows though like that 'example' lol :fail

Can't see any gangsta front window tints , nor Barry tinted headlights on that nice silver estate Paul ?

The fronts are tinted, just not as dark as the rears. Can't believe people do the windscreen and lights, though.

Silver clk's look rubbish with tints, wagons you can get away with it. I personally think black wheels don't suit Mercedes silver. I have light anthracite on my monoblocks will post a pic later.

Depends on the CLK. Some won't look the same without the tints:

They are actually Seat Cupra grey which is actually a bit darker than the pics and have a very pronounced fleck in sunlight

keep them original.... imo split rim wheels look best when the centres are painted a different colour not one piece..... and style 2's really dont do the look any justice and vice versa..

Are they 18" ?

 

[poormansporsche]

yep 18 by 8" all round - would look even better if yours have the 9" rears

heres some black monoblocks on my 190

Yeah I hope that's how mines going to look like
What tyre size is the best for the rears 9"?

 

[poormansporsche]

Dunno as I only had the 8's on the rear. I'm sure someone will be along soon to advise !
