AMG wheels on TL

If you've seen the CLS55 AMG wheels you know what I'm talking about.
Here is a picture anyway.

Aside from a slight offset problem, I have a passion for these wheels but am hesitant on having AMG inlays on the wheels for my TL.

Let me know what you guy think.





Any photoshop pro's in the house?

Wheels look good. But you'd have to have the AMG insignia sanded down, or filled in... Now way in hell i'd have AMG on my TL

Wrong Bolt pattern all together, won't even fit on, and the offset is way too low on the benz. Even the centerbore is different.

I've thought of this, boring out the lug holes and the center hole could be done.
Using self centering lug nuts, it's only 2.3mm difference. However I don't think I'm about to spend $1000+ per wheel just to take a drill press and grinder to them.

It's a interesting idea, I'd like to see someone actually do it.

aren't there aftermarket rims that'll come close to looking like those AMG's?

I think the spokes are too big to look good on our cars. I've seen a few of those AMG CL cars.
