NEW POWER WHEELS PRO AMG 17" REPS

These were installed last week just before a road trip....Power Wheels Pro style 810. 17x8" ET44 front and rear, but kept the staggered tires. Note the good fit versus the wheel opening. They balanced very easily. The design is classic, not breakthrough, but I think they are a great addition to the other AMG cues, and the perfect wheel for a Palladium car. The spokes' gun metal matches extremely well.

OMGITSElaine and Joe...imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

Sportstick .......... Congratulations they look greeattt

I heard you were looking for a set for quite awhile and finally you got them !! So by going with the 17" you didn't need to go out and buy new tires either ..... one inch isn't gonna make a big difference is what I always tell Elaine !!

Fantastic! The spokes really match well, as you stated. And... the 245s in the rear don't look out of place at all. Patience has paid off for sure...

Nice looking wheels

Did your car come with the splash guards? Or were they added (painted) after the car was delivered?

Thanks, they look great. Do they function well in terms of preventing splashes on the side of the car (thus keeping the dirt off)?

With the stock wheels, they did an excellent job of reducing blowback on the lower bodyside. My new wheels seem to be a couple of millimeters more proud (although lookin' good!), so I will need to see if more water/dirt/snow gets past them as time goes by.

That is one of the sites I'm looking at. Since my car is black I thought that black with the machined face would look good.

Those are EXACTLY what I've been looking for. They look great on your car! Do you know if they're available in black?

Also to search for these am I using "power wheels pro style 810" sorry for my ignorance lol.

Outstanding eye for detail!

The car had just been washed and there is a trickle of water from rolling it into position for the photo. There is another one just to the left of the 12 o'clock position as well. I need to to a better job of drying the tires before taking photos, but surprising that a cell phone camera showed such detail!

When I bought them, the seller on Ebay (for the same manufacturer) was located in England. However, this link was the only one I could find subsequently, as the Ebay link disappeared. I did refer someone else to the more recent link in Ausralia and thought they were able to place the order for US shipment. Note on their web site, they do mention international shipping?!?!

On this link, look on the left side, fourth heading down, under "Order Tracking" to read:

"Car Mats 4U offer competitive shipping rates, both domestically and internationally."

So, if they won't ship out of Australia, I guess I would ask them to what are they referring with this language?

I just did some more searching and found this site in England. They seem to use the identical web site system as the guys in Australia.....try this:

http://www.ukcarmats.co.uk/mercedes-...mud-flaps.html

Note the box in the middle of the screen addresses "overseas delivery".

Thanks.....the price included new chrome lug nuts and the new center caps. I actually just bought another set from them (style 817) for our E Class and will be posting pics on the E forum soon. These guys give excellent customer service!

Did you get 18" or bigger? I've been waiting forever for the 817 in 17" and each time I talk with them, they are not in stock or available.

Yes, for the E, I replaced 18s with 18s. (After a Michigan pot-holed winter, none of the original wheels were round anymore!) Their inventory does vary, but if you write to Vassili at support@powerwheelspro.com, he may do for you what he did for us. He sent us an email with photos of everything in our size that was immediately in stock. That made it a lot easier!
