Need your urgent advice on RIMS!
I found a set of AMG's 19" 5X112 9.5 (WIDER) for a decent price and am wondering if they would fit my C240 4-Matic.
I attached a pic of what the seller claims to be a crack in one of the rims - how bad is that and how much do you guys estimate the repair cost would be for something like that? I did a quick (and terrible) photoshop and they gotta admit I like the look, although I would prefer 18's.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
EDIT: Added photochop.

I wouldn't touch a 19" rim with a crack like that, even if it were free.
My guess would be that the fronts would be too wide in 9.5". Why would you want them that wide in front anyway?
And I agree about your mad photoship skillz.

Yeah I agree with the rest of the guys! I definitely would not trust a 19 inch wheel that has taken damage like that. The structural integrity of the wheel will never be the same. And the absolute max I would go on the front would be 8.5 if you find one with the right offset.
