AMG Pentas on Ol' Turbo
I'm going to need very small spacers to get the front center caps on, but overall, lookin' good.

I do have 2 sets now, but these are the ones from Norm.
My new set is going to need some work. spokes are fine, but clear coat is coming off the polished lip. A good sanding a clear coat and they'll look better than the ones I have now. The ones pictured were powder coated at some point. The primary reason I put these on was to show off at the Texas GTG this weekend.

IMHO AMG anything is a big improvement over stock MB wheels.
Looks great!

what is???
Hey Tyler!
What's the blue thing sticking out of your sunroof in the 3rd image? Also, your block heater cord is hanging down......  This thread reminds me....I need to post some pics. Do you mind if I use your thread? It is wheel related.

My personal opinion is that AMG's go best with a full on AMG'd W123 (or any classic MB for that matter). These, however, aren't that bad but I think the tires are a bit too meaty.

They look good Tyler.
 What about refinishing the other pentas with O'l Turbo's body color for the classic AMG look?

Well, I'd always wondered what my 300D (same color as Ol' Turbo) would look like with AMG Pentas and now I know. I'm not really feelin' it. Some W123s can pull it off nicely like your wagon, but a Petrol Green W123 with Pentas looks awkward for some reason. But to me, a grey or black W123 with the same rims would look good all day long. Go figure.

what size tires are those? I'm guessing those wheels were for a 190 or a 124 since the caps don't fit.
