I like those +++

Ok, you did ask Roberto...

1. They're not OEM (boring, I know...)
2. They're Mercedes :tuttut:
3. They'd fill the arches nicely (I'm trying to be positive...)
4. You'd need a darker finish (assuming you're fitting them on your "usual" body colour ;) )
5. They're better than the green hoodie :rolleyes:

PS: what's going on with the camera lens? watching it made me feel hungover (which I'm not...:) )

Other opinions are available...

this is where i got the black grill idea from , so i painted my S8 grill black and added a quattro badge instead of the dredded S8 one which ive been told off for 1000+ times

It was filmed with a GoPro camera. Known as the 'jello' effect, but probably better sounding than the '****ed as a newt' effect.

As for the wheels, something different and decent looking... so long as you remove the Merc badges in the middle. Just think of the stick you'd get for those. :)

I usually think the correct wheels look best with only a few exceptions. But, these do look good.

I like them, I think if they had Audi centre caps only the initiated would ever know!

johnny_quattro 16th February 2019 05:23 PM

Yes from me
 
I'll come straight out and say that the D3 is not the platform of choice for JQ but I really do like those wheels and it does suit the car extremely well. Usual caveats apply, i.e. different centre caps are a must. Rather amusingly, the chap in the video has a similar pair of trainers to the ones I'm currently wearing so it must be an omen. Mine are a tasteful grey I hasten to add and not green... :ROFL:

Thumbs-up from Johnny.

Was looking at those wheels long time ago, they are from the GL series.

roberto 17th February 2019 04:43 AM

turns out there are 2 versions of the same wheel
8.5J
9.5J
i suppose the 9.5J goes on the rear
not easy to find these
