In the same way clothes maketh a man, the same arguably can apply to wheels and cars, and don’t the good folk at Vossen know that. They’ve taken a US$142k (RM509k) Mercedes-AMG GT S, given it some new shoes and released a sea of photos covering the almost-a-week-long project.
Except it isn’t as simple as untying those laces, slipping the old kicks off and sliding the new ones on. A set of ‘Vossen Forged: Precision Series VPS-306’ wheels were chosen; 20-inchers up front and 21s out back. They were then submerged in special tanks to ensure they were as clean as possible, yielding a Gloss Clear finish.
Feast your eyes on the gallery below – you can see the wheels being forged, the computer designs and all the meticulous preparation required, including the measuring of the brake disc assemblies. And of course, there’s the end result, looking absolutely sublime!
By the way, if you’re eyeing one, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has announced that Stuttgart’s new 911-fighter will arrive here before the end of the year.

what a wasteful way of spending money…
not only is the ride quality now suffers , but design is no different from stock items….
owner must be arabic…
forged? more like cast to me.
seems like u r not really sure how to differentiate between forge n cast… just like confuse between dogs n cats…
I see Mercedes rear design starting to imitate Porsche
This is the ‘real’ Vossen.. Real ones, not your ordinary sport rims..
Wow thanks for posting! It was an intense week but the team got it done! We started late Monday and were done by Thursday engineering these custom Vossen forged Wheels. We will have a video up shortly on our YouTube channel!
Volks4life the pictures clearly show our factory here in Miami and the entire process from start to finish. You can even see the solid aluminum block the forged VPS-306 is cut from.
The stock rims looks way better than Vossen ones. I dont see any thing at all in Vossen and dont know why people would think they look cool.
