Hey i've been wanting to get a new set of wheels for years and i finally got these AMG replicas i luv the look and though these simply replaced my 17" OEM's i figured i'd save some $$ for a summer set which i'm hoping to be 19" BBs CH's still I really didn't want to make any changes with the wheels and tire setup for the 4matic ... especially for the winter Thanks for taking a peek .....

Thanks Micro

Actual AMGs i believe are anywhere between $3000 to $4000 and these replicas were under $1000 so i'm hoping they withstand the roads of NJ/NY and beside i'm looking to get 19" CHs sometime next summer yay

I got 17" so i could keep the same tires i have now but these do come in 18's and 19"s ....... see link below

Those are 17's? Damn they look bigger than the stock ones. Probably cause of the thinner spokes. Either way their hot. If you ever want to sell them in the future let me know!

They look like 18". There is a member that has 18" and they look like 19". I like 'em. Please reconsider on the CHs. IMO, they are the wrong wheels for the W204.

Thanks guys for the compliments

I know for most of you guys that 1" difference from either 17" to 18" or 18" to 19" makes a big difference ..... to think i thought that 1" meant more to a woman juust kidding !!

Well now that i see the 5 spoke design i can see why some of you guys don't like the CHs soo who knows what i'll get as summer setup now ?? ohh i also once considered the MRR GT1's and they're not too expensive either ?!

Those MRR GT1s look nice! Much better than the BBS CHs.
Like a snowflake or something.

I'm thinking I might end up doing the same setup as you. Especially because those 17's look as if they are 18's and yet lets me use my stock all season tires

Cool You'll really luv the look of the wheels because i think the pictures dont do it any justice especially on my color combination with steel grey I guess this is what a forum is all about ....sharing ! Granted some may like the mod and some may not but at least if you get a visual one can decide on his/her own if that's right for them !

Thanks .... i was pondering whether i wanted to stay at 17" but like i said before i really didnt want to mess around with the 4matic setup right before the winter thus i stayed with the 17"

I have to agree with you on understated on how the Steel Grey Metallic looks in pictures. When I saw the color in person, I canned the idea of iridium silver in a heartbeat and bought steel grey. BTW, nice wheels.

I wish you best of luck with the ny/nj roads. Everytime I wack holes i don't see, I'm feeling for my wheels and want to myself for not avoiding it.

Just a quick question, in person do these wheels look like their bigger than your stock 17s? (Even though they aren't?) Cause I'm contemplating getting those or 18s but with those in 17s I wouldn't have to get new tires.

I myself cannot tell the difference however a few of the guys i hang out with are more knowledgeable about wheels/cars have said this if that means anything. I say go for the 17"s just to avoid getting new tires for the 18" and get a nice 19' setup for the summertime instead no ??

Looking good Elaine,
Does the silver paint on the spoke match your car's paint exactly? Little lighter/darker?
