DAI wheels

does anyone use/or heard about DAI rims (R5 amg styling)
I'm looking into rims for the summer, staying with a 17" so I can use my all seasons. these one are not hub centric but I can get that included.

How can they not be hubcentric? It's an AMG replica wheel.

It's a little hack, but will probably not cause any issues.

Have you tried to pick up a genuine second hand set of these? I picked up a near perfect set in 18" for the same price. All of those C63 owners that upgrade to aftermarket wheels must need to do something with their OEM's.

I'd like to try and stay with the rubber I have unless they part with rubber to, the c230 is same set wheels all round. aren't c63's larger on the back? does that matter?

Hey KW, you from Waterloo? I got a set of replicas in Toronto that came cheaper than that. PM me with your e-mail I'll send you a few pictures and more details.

I got mine in 18" so I'm not sure if they have 17".

They are a AMG style but not a AMG Replica.

If you are looking for summer wheels, www.replika.ca will have the SLS replica available in march.



I have the same ones on my Wagon but in silver.
