Zug 08/2023: There is a new trend in Europe's classic car scene, which Maxilite, the market leader for classic design classic car rims, recognized early on. More and more Mercedes fans convert old Mercedes Benz 300s into "Red Pigs". The matching penta style wheels in 10x15 and 12x15, which have recently been available from Maxilite, should not be missing.
The birth of the legendary "red pig" was in Spa Francorchamps in 1971 - between the touring cars of the other manufacturers, the AMG tuning company is a real outsider with its large, beefy and cumbersome-looking 300 SEL AMG. But what happened, was what nobody expected: The the two rather unknown young drivers Hans Heyer and Clemens Schickentanz were able to achieve second place in the overall classification and even first place in the class ranking with their fiery red S-Class sedan. This sensational success was the breakthrough for the then up-and-coming company AMG!
Today, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL AMG 6.8 has an absolute cult factor and fits perfectly with our motto "WE LOVE CLASSICS". For this reason, the limited wheels of the red pig are now available exclusively from Maxilite.
