AMG Wheels

[Borys]

Very nice

 

[Abb]

That is absolutely stunning! What colour is that?

 

[Chalpkin]

Great looking wheels, really set the car off.

 

[Spudders]

Getting mine done the same but Satin black. Was quoted £90 per wheel. How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking? Looks like a good job on them.

The wheels are a Matte black with Diamond cut lip.

The car colour is purple, blue, black, green I don't know it changes colour all the time, lol.

Ahh what!

£100 per wheel to get them powder coated in matte black with diamond cut lip.

The colour is actually called Benitoite blue.

If you haven't already check out This Thread. In the end I decided to get it done professionally after my own attempts started to sag. Skip to page 3 to see the pro job.

Got my wheels back today. Came to £102 per wheel, so same pretty much

Getting them fitted with new tires on Weds, can't wait!

Where did you get your roof done? Looks great!

Your AMG wheels look stunning, is that Satin black?

I was considering satin but at the end went for Matte black as I didn't want any shine.

 

[Jovie]

Both

 

[Spudders]

Got roof done at a local place called MC-Incar (MC-INCAR - Specialists). Their work is good quality and they will be straight about how/if something is going to work well or not.

That is Satin yeh. I didn't want matte like everyone else but at same time didn't want gloss so its perfect somewhere between the two.

How much did the roof cost if you don't mind me asking?

Wheels look great mate, got to post some pictures once they've been fitted please

 

[Spudders]

£500, but was a lot of labor involved in the quilted part so would be less for standard.

Getting tires fitted Weds so hopefully pics soon after

 

[BenzedUP]

Cheers, look forward to seeing the wheels fitted.

Here we are, think I need to get spacers now though!

 

[BenzedUP]

Looks stunning man, really go well with the car - I like that the calipers receive good contrast

How does your CLK55 compare to your previous car the SLK55?

Thanks for the pictures.

Great looking CLK, Spudders, my boy.

I'd probably go with some spacers too.
Nothing too drastic.
Maybe 10-12mm.

Thanks! Need to paint them actually, the back ones especially as they are just rust! Was considering red but I think its a bit much. Was siding with black but now I have black wheels, silver provides good contrast like you say.

Was going to use hammerite, anyone else painted theirs with it?

The SLK was much better in terms of quality. I never thought the SLK was amazingly good quality but CLK is just...well....a few levels below that.

Handling wise both have really good grip, especially with the new tires! But obviously the CLK being longer is less twitchy.

I have to say I prefer the 7 speed box though. When I am cruising 60+ I keep waiting for it to change up, lol.

I have seen these:
2 X 10MM HUBCENTRIC ALLOY WHEEL SPACERS FIT MERCEDES CLK COUPE W209 02 09 M12 | eBay

Don't know much about spacers. My concern is these don't have a lip, so potentially the weight of the wheel could be more on the bolts (which is baaad). Any thoughts?
