"Front 18 x 8" and Rear 18 x 9" 35mm / hub centric replica. These wheels are manufactured in a original equipment plant to original specification. They are DOT, JWL, VIA and TUV approved. They are side impact and load bearing tested. They are manufactured with the highest quality A-365.2 virgin aluminum. The finish is superior and we are the manufacture.

i think each wheel should have its own verification number (at least my OEM wheels i took of had one). maybe you can get them and get it verified just to be on the safe side

First, they are a replica and not the real thing. He says so in the ad. That tells me that someone is ripping off AMG as they have the logo clearly cast in to the wheel. For a cheap replica, the price sounds about right.
Second, I don't think they will fit the w203 cars. Look at where the spokes meet the rim and you can see that they are different than the factory C32 or C55 rims. He lists the older C class in the list of cars that they fit, but not the w203. I don't think there is enough off set to clear the brakes.
Caveat Emptor!

Yo...they aint bad for $545. So what if they're replicas. If you didnt know, you prolly couldnt tell the difference anyway. It sucks that someone is ripping off AMG rims, but hey, we're not all Bill Gates and we can't all afford to fork up 2 G's on some 18"s. You know where the factory is and how to get a hold of em if somethin happens, so what you got to lose. I say, congrats and enjoy your new fly *** rims hommee.

yeah, def. thats one way to look at it. i'm picky and need the real thing or nothing at all so it wouldnt be for me, but anyone else her who wants them let us know how it goes, but i think someone earlier said it doesnt fit teh w203. you can always call and ask though.

I can't find it now, but I remember there was an ebay listing similar to the one posted in the first part of this thread that was $498 plus shipping. Careful when you buy b/c not all of them are staggered and you might need staggered for your setup. not sure on your particulars.
