WARRANTY
Our wheels are made at an OEM factory so we are proud to offer the following:
2 Years Finish Warranty: Many replica wheels finish can be sub par and the finish can crack or peel off. Since our wheels come out of an OEM process, the paint and clear coat thickness is similar to OEM standards. Obvious exclusion is curbing, denting or any other misuse that can damage or etch the finish such as use of strong chemicals in the cleaning process.
Manufacturing Defect Warranty: The wheels are made utilizing the low pressure casting process like OEM wheels do and go through rigorous quality controls including 100% x-ray, leak and balancing tests. They are guarrantied to fit on your car without vibrating or pulling.
Fitment Warranty: You don't have to know the technical specifications of the wheels your car takes, you can lean on our experience knowing what fits your car. If we get it wrong, we will support you as much as we can, or we will take full responsibility and give you a refund.
The wheels are in stock and we can also quote wheel and tire packages.
We do not make money on tires or on shipping, it is just a service we offer to our customers, we recognize not everyone has the time to drop off wheels and tires at their local tire store and waste half a day to get them mounted and balanced.
We will mount and balance them for you and take on the risk of getting it right. We have had many customers that called us after getting their wheels mounted telling us that the tire shop scratched them and asked for replacements. So we focused on putting the synergies in place that allows us to offer that service.
You can always call us at 248 686 2035 if you have any questions.
Thanks for looking!
DISCLAIMER: The pictures of the car below were found online, they do not show our wheels and they are used for reference, to help visualize the look of the car with our wheels on. The pictures of the wheels alone are the actual wheels for sale.

No it doesn't, but you can stagger the tires if you wanted, I have done so in my own car. You can go as wide as 245 or 255 on a 8.5" rim.
Thanks,

What a look at an incredible price. If I didn't just buy new tires- I would be all over these. I might be the minority but I prefer non-staggered fitment.
They look amazing.

can anyone confirm/comment if 255/35/18 wheels will fit on these 8.5 rims? I currently have 9.5
normally it's 45 offset front, 53 offset rear and 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5 so I am concerned how fitment would look

[QUOTNo, it's a bargain at half the price so you can buy the AAA membership to flatbed your ride to the MB dealer since your Mb warranty won't cover it when those slush wheels snap in your exquisite omg power turn!
omg does not equal AMG. Comprende'?
E=Savage c-300;4743670]$529 for a set of 4 rims?? That's a steal![/QUOTE]

Sportstick, thank you for your kind words, it is a pleasure to deal with customers such as yourself!
BTW your cars look AMAZING!
wnunez89: I understand, I wish we had them. You can always stagger your tires, but I am sure you have already thought of that.
aowhaus, they are available in Silver Machined Face, here is a better picture below, same price. Black wheels sure make a statement and it is not to everyone taste.
Savage c-300: We work directly with the factory and we are happy to offer these low prices to our private customers. Some of our wholesalers are not happy about it but I am a strong proponent of bringing value to our customers.
angeloxnet: The tires will fit perfectly. Regarding the stance, here is an offset calculator:
http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp
Based on what I know, the stock 18s are 18x8 and 18x9. The offset you mentioned is correct. Based on the calculator, the fronts will have 9mm LESS Inner Clearance and EXTEND an extra 3mm on the Outer Position
The rears, 11mm MORE Inner Clearance and RETRACT by 1mm on the Outer Position.
grane, our wheels exceed all international quality specs, and on some molds, even the notoriously hard TUV specs, which involves impact testing. I know of NO other aftermarket wheels that pass those specs.
At this point I feel I need to share this with you http://youtu.be/Si2OuQeVbbc
In short it is a video of a serious issue involving defective OEM AMG wheels.
"I have filed complain in NHTSA with concern of safety. This is design and quality of AMG wheels. I have gone through several forum and found that lot of people had issue like bend, crack and even wheel split in two. I am gathering details to fight with MB for changes in wheel design and make it stronger to handle pot holes, etc.
I am not asking any personal information but if you can provide details like vehicle model/year, wheel, what kind of damage, etc."
Our wheels come with a manufacturing defect warranty and also they are made at a highly automated low pressure casting process which ensure manufacturing consistency.
I am not saying there are not cheap wheels out there, I have seen them with my eyes. All I am saying is our wheels are as good as you can get a cast wheel. We have shipped thousands of sets with absolutely ZERO issues due to bad wheel quality.
If you have any evidence for the contrary please share with us.
Thanks,
Vassili

I also need to add a comment on OE wheels. We had OE 18" wheels as part of the AMG Sport Package on our E350. All four wheels bent over Michigan winter driving. When we had the new PowerWheels Pro 817s installed, the owner of our local independent high end shop (BMW, MB, Porsche, etc.) told me he gets an incredible over-representation of that particular OE wheel among all damaged wheels, and described them as "soft". He showed me a few of the very same type of wheel which happened to be there at the time, bent, and piled up in the back of the shop.
The bottom line is that MB does not make wheels. Just as all other vehicle manufacturers, they source them from a variety of international wheel producer companies, and yes, some are located in China. The eventual end user experience is not dependent on whether the wheels were sold by MB at their stratospheric prices, but whether the wheels were well designed and produced and carry TUV, JWL, and/or ISO 9001 certification which relate to the quality of the design, development, and production processes. The two sets I bought for my cars do.

I would LOVE a set of your style 818 in 19x8.5/19x9.5 in aggressive offsets, because the Avant Garde M328 wheels have been discontinued from what I have heard.

Sportstick, thanks for your post, you are 100% right. Mercedes does not make wheels, they subcontract factories and they have to meet their specifications. We know how much our factory sells each wheel to Mercedes, and that is them much much much cheaper than what we sell them for. They still price them at around $1000 PER WHEEL at the dealership, so that is close to $4k/set, almost 10 times more than ours. But that is not news, I heard somewhere that if you theoretically priced your whole car in a complete parts list from the Dealer it would be 3 times more expensive that its sticker price.
Anyway, stogge, we do have the 804 SLR, the 811, the 810 in stock in 19x8.5/9.5 in stock in a variety of applications and offsets. And yes, the prices are equally awesome
Savage c-300, we actually have OEM center caps, the wheels will ship with them. Please see picture below
Richard2011, we will be ordering the 818s in 19" in the W204 offsets. We have been trying to get them in for a while, we have not given up yet...
Bayou Benz, Thanks, saw your order come through, they will go out tomorrow!! Thank you for your business,
Vassili

On this car I've had the stock Contis, Hankook Ventus V12s which I loved, and currently Yokohama S.drives which I also love.
I loved the Hankooks for the money and would have repurchased, however I had a vibration problem that decreased slightly as the tires wore down but never fully went away. Interestingly enough, when I had the new S.drives put on the vibration was amplified so now I know it's my wheels and not the tires.
Anyway I'm happy with both. I know everyone says PS2s but I'm lucky if I get a full year out of tires so it's not worth the money to me. If I had a performance car yes, but not a C300.

Vassili,
You absolutely guarantee there will be no vibration issues with these? I do trust you, but my car drives like a 15 year old Kia at high speeds because of the current cheap replicas I have (oewheelsllc) and I don't know that I wanna take a chance on another set of cheap replicas.
