Looking for 17" x7.5 AMG wheels for snow tires
Does anyone know where I can order a set of four 17x7.5 AMG wheels (part# B6 603 1400) other than through the dealers. It costs $827 CDN each here in Ontario, Canada without tires! I am swapping my stock 17" AMG staggered (17x7.5//17x8.5) for the 18" AMGs. That left me looking for a set of wheels for snow tires. My wife likes the look of the 17" AMG, or else I would go for something less expensive.

Do you want authentic AMG rims or would you settle for replicas or other brand of rims? I'm not sure if rims from an earlier model would fit, but I've seen several sets of rims on craigslist for reasonable prices.
I was considering the same thing and ended up ordering the car with the stock 17" AMG rims and may buy 18" to wear in the summer later. Probably be more expensive this way since the 18" would of only been $1K upgrade but... I was also a little nervous about damaging one of the 18's with our H U G E potholes here on our roads.

you will need wheels with a minimum of 45mm offset.
the W203 as well as other MB wheels have a much lower offset.
Last weekend I tried to put my old wheels on (40mm offset) and the face of the tire is just about flush with the wheel well opening. I decided not to put them on because I didn't want to risk the wheel opening from shredding my tires in a hard turn, or even worse.
