C55 rims wheels oem or aftermarket

I need to get a rear C55 rim.

As my poor driving skills made me hit a curb :s

I am willing to buy a set or just one wheel.

Do you guys know of any aftermarket rims that are identical?

What do you guys recommend?

better not get a replica, the offsets might be off from the oem wheel

No exact replica is available. Offsets are generally 30 or 32 on replicas & spoke thickness is not identical. Some spokes have the wrong curl as well on replicas. Many replicas have a polished section on the rim - original is not. Many replicas are split rim look alikes. The plant that made the MBZ 485 which was the closest replica like Cintoman has but in ET30 has gone under.

Buy original Austrian AMG
