Reply With QuoteJust one person's opinion but I think those look really nice on your w202!
So this is a TEST FIT for now.. I need to run a different tire up front to help clear the fenders.
I didnt have any issues with my W210 AMG Monoblocks, but that wheel was a 18x8 ET 31 up front and a 18x9 ET35 for the rear with 245/40/18 and 285/35/18 tires.
But with the SL55 wheels.. they are 18x8.5 ET30 and 18x9.5 ET33. so I need to change the front tire to a 225/40/18 for fitment and I should be able to turn my steering wheel full lock without rubbing too much!!
with the 245 tire set up I cant even turn my steering wheel half way before it touches the fender (as you can see in the pic!!) still keeping the 285/35 rear tire.
so as soon as I get tires I will put them on and take new pics.

Nice. Have fun cleaning those if you don't have ceramic pads!
wow those look really good, i thought about getting these back in the day but backed out for fear of fitment issues, apparently i was wrong, they look great!
it'll look great when u have the right tire sizes
looks great ;D

thanks for the comments.. I like them. they do look pretty nice.. a lil dtm?!
and as for brake pads.. I was running dustless ones, but I found that the braking performance was less, and they ended up toasting my rotors.. heat cracking and everything on them.
really did a number on them. so I decided to just go back to stock pads and rotors for now.
Im going to be doing a lot of cleaning!!

does it make alot of noise?

I chose the Axxis Deluxe Plus because they are supposed to be a good compromise and provide equal braking compared to OEM pads. They aren't like full ceramic which require heat before they will work well and supposedly they aren't like highly metallic pads that really eat through rotors. Time will tell if they are right.
The whole naming/branding thing for Axxis is kind of confusing. The company uses a number of brand names and model names for the same thing. Axxis is PBR. The Deluxe Plus are now sometimes sold as the Deluxe Advance or just Advance.
No noise and they really are super low on dust.
Someone posted a link for a dealer out in the Northwest who has great prices but I have lost it so you will have to search. I bought a set of front pads for $40 plus like $8 shipping.
Don't forget you will need sensors and anti squeal paste.

yes indeed.. 285!!! they are pretty close but if you finesse the fenders!!Originally posted by lamf

and good eye!! the rear and the front fenders are custom.. nothing huge, but pushed out enough for clearance. they look good, but I want WIDER!!

wow, I'm impressed, now get some nice MB center cars (blue leaf or black leaf) and they wheels will look great. I'm impressed man, It gives it a very nice old school AMG look. of the newer AMG rims i've seen on W202s those seem to be the best by far in terms of fitting the cars character.
How did u push the fender out? is it using fender roller? or some wide body method? chip any of the paint?Originally posted by SLAMMED_C

a bit of both!! I originally rolled them with a proper fender roller.. then the paint cracked too much in a couple spots so I had them recently fixed. they look good.Originally posted by 515

btw did u trim or cut the inner side of the panel (see picture). coz it will sure rub.
i wanna dooooooo it, i'm scard i'm gonna fuck the paint up....
i guesss that makes more sense then cutting the lip, which would look like shit and slice like a razor

yes I did have to trim the moldings down a bit as well. They were easy to trim.Originally posted by 515
