2005 CLK500
Exclamation Help on rims

Hey guys I drive a 2005 clk500 and the other night I crushed my front right rim. Ive been trying to find it everywhere but I havent had any luck. I find pictures online, but never any description. Its 19 x 8.5 with 6 inch depth (semi deep dish I guess). Im on this CL-class thread because I read somewhere online that the rims im looking for are actually a type for CL class. This is the closest I got (these are the exact rims that are just like mine I found on some forum, but posted 5 years ago)...

That's simply the rear rim , on a staggered fitments to get the deep dish
it's exactly the same China replica rim

Alrighty then. China products are typically of inferior quality. It's no substitute for OEM.

I understood that, I'm just saying I don't trust stuff from China, whether it's wheels, electrics, or suspension bits. It's an automatic no go for me, no matter how cheap it is. OEM or equivalent is all that will do, for anything. Of course, I tend to prefer things factory, hence me going through the trouble to get and refinish the AMG rims my car initially came with when it came with different Mercedes wheels. Anybody want to buy these wheels and tires?
