So started my build & scored some Mandrus Wheels
found a set of used Mandrus stuttgart. Let just say i got it under $1k for the set of 4. 22x10.5 & 22 x9.5
Now parts list started to pyle up.
TPMS 433mhz sensors $175
black Carbon MB Center cap $30
Chrome Conical Lug Bolts 20pc spline type $75 (they are basically 20pc of wheel locks)
Tires Nexen 305/40/22 $550
Mounting $80
Akebono brake front Pads $80 (just keep brake dust to almost zero)
Alignment $80 (keep tire wear minimal)
So Estimated. total for the wheels and tires will be. just about $2000.
Oh also got a set of LED Taillight for $375.

Staggered wheels - you need to be careful not to end up with different diameter tires. This rewuirment might limit your wheel/ tire combo choices.
Tire diameter should be the same on all four.

Im not absolutely sure but I looked in http://epc.startekinfo.com
got this current part no for my vin. a0025408017 which was 433mhz.
I think when it all install I have to reactivate tire pressure monitor via the dash and steering wheel button in one of the menu in the information display.

Yes they are pretty heavy.. The center and front lip is extremely heavy. However the rear lip is really light.
I had to paint the rotor and calipers because they are so visible now. The OEM metal finish is extremely ugly.

My Mandrus are 22x9 +37, 22x10.5 +41 basically if you get the 22" S class staggered sizing it would look similar to my setup. I ran 305/40/22 tires on all 4 corners.
the AMG replica's specs are 22x9 +35 and 22x10.5 +35

they recommend same wheels for 4matic staggered screws up the gears/plates on the 4 matic ….if u had your rears all around will look better cause of the deep concave…. i like that AMG style a lot it came 19in factory for my CLS ..
