Default AMG Wheels on a SC?

How do you guys think this would look on a white sc400 with a vertex bodykit?

I think it would look pretty good but the propaganda would send mixed messages

It would probably look alright but it's not even close to my favorite five-spoke design (actually 10-spoke but hey) and I wouldn't put them on my SC. I would rather see those older AMG-style, full-wheel, five-spoke wheels on an SC. I don't know the official name of the AMG wheels I'm referring to but they kind of look like these wheels:

Real Mercedes wheel will not bolt up the bolt pattern is 5x120 but there are a few companies that have wheels styled the same. If you could find some with a HUGE lip in think they would be the *******

As for the wheels, eh, not feeling the set in the 2nd pic. You could find some that flowed with your car a bit better, but everyone has different taste, so if that's what gets you up in the morning, go for it.

You mean 5x112. 5x120 is BMW/Landrover,RR.

I agree with the above mentioned on hub adaptors.. but there are already nice jdm wheels that resemble the amg wheels. i think hub adaptors waste your inner space anyway, and utilizing the potential of wide widths for actual amg wheels
