Really?? Then why do people seek these Pentas so adamantly?? I personally am getting tired of the 3 piece Monos.. It's too common of a wheel... Waiting for my new ones then off come the AMG's..
Pentas!!! That is the original, period-correct wheel when the whole craze started in the early eighties. The purists and collectors prefer Pentas, and that is why they are in demand and command high prices. Then there are the others that like to upgrade the look of their cars with more modern parts, and they like the later AMG wheels......the newer the better to cause their cars to look more 'modern' imo. So the answer for you depends on which camp you fall into....
Say it like you mean it...
The guy is running a Gen1 280se Monoblocks would just look wrong
in fact with a stock S1 280 id be inclined just to run bundits or steels and enjoy driving the car as the factory intended
I needlessly modify the crap out of most cars I own but sometimes stock is best, especially when driving a base model car, where IMO the pleasure is in the simplicity=longevity=leave it alone and enjoy it
Ha I can almost start that thread though I know you were joking. Just got my Gen 1 AMG's back from refinishing an hour ago, ordered tires to go on tomorrow. Now need to find the AMG center caps (ha dealer quoted $33.50 per) and proper lug bolts and Bluebird will have at least that part finished.
It should be that case, yes. Though I believe it is because of the flat surface and design of the wheel face. Or 99% of wheels would be called monoblocks, and I know my neighbors ford aspire doesnt have "monoblock" steelies.
