Which brand of wheels that are highly reputable with AMG?

I am wondering, which wheel brand that is highly reputable for AMGs? I know already know about Brabus, but what about BBS? OZ? Momo?

There are some good wheels that aren't suitable for Benz, like Volk Racing.

I've had good luck with CCW's, ADV's, and DPE's. CCW's are fairly priced and good quality. The ADV's and DPE's are higher priced but good wheels.

I mean, I am talking about partnership with Mercedes Benz. Like an official wheel that is designed for MB. For example, BBS has designed wheels for BMW for the Le Mans racing. I am still kind of new with MB world, so I am wondering which wheels are designed for AMG or MB.

I am not talking about which wheel that is fitted for a Benz. Thank you for your suggestions, though.

BRABUS, BBS , Carlsson, Lorensor and of course AMG in house brand wheels. OZ wheels is fine as well. VOLK RACING is mainly for Japanese cars but it will fit a Benz if the bolt pattern is the same

The only wheels I know of that are house brand wheels for AMG are AMG wheels. Other s are manufacturers that may or may not fit and may or may not pass AMG quality standards. However, I know of no spec like the MB 229.x oil spec for wheels or a qualification program sponsored by AMG that is public.

I agree with grane. I believe the only 'in-house' wheels are AMG with the others being aftermarket...but it is the 30th and I could be wrong!

At the risk of sounding tautological, only AMG wheels are really AMG wheels. But when you see "AMG" on a wheel you get just a stamp of authenticity - someone else really made the wheel. AMG does not make wheels.

In the case of the 18x8.5 F 18x10 R 5 spoke two-piece AMG wheels featured on the original 208 CLK F1 safety car (and sold by Daimler as an option for the SLs of that era) the true manufacturer was BBS (as seen by stamps on the inside). OZ also has made some high-end AMG wheels (such as the forged beauties on the CLK DTM). Other wheels come from less famous manufacturers.

Whoever the manufacturer, AMG wheels are always good quality but rarely the lightest and never the least expensive choice. Their association with the factory ensures a classic look the way the designers intended. After-market wheels may improve performance and the new look may please the owner but the resale value of the car usually takes a hit.

yes this is the same goes to BRABUS, Lorinsor, Carlsson wheels etc.. at the end of the day, it dose not matter. they are all quality wheels design by them but someone else manufacture them at their approved quality standard. best of all, they are all design to fit perfectly on a Benz vehicle.

Sad to say, but with..

Only a few exceptions, AMG wheels aren't that much to get excited about. Not real light, average finish at best (if that), and pretty conservative fitment (but getting better). Lots of wheels on the market far superior in quality and looks...
