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.

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 guarantied 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.
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.

PURCHASING
You are welcome to purchase the wheels from our website at www.powerwheelspro.com or you can call your order in at 248 686 2035 or we can send you a paypal invoice.

Thanks for looking!

Factory ordered 2012 MB C350 w/Dynamic Handling Package
Interested. For the record I have a 2012 C350 sedan with no plans to lowering it. This would be perfect since I don't plan to change the stock rubber size either...However I'm chicken, so I'll wait to see a member post pictures of it mounted first.

I don't have that design, but I bought wheels from PowerWheelsPro and can certainly support their product and customer service quality!

I stopped by and met Vassili last week and got a set of these wheels. Top guy and the wheels look terrific. I'll snap a pic later on today and post it. The gunmetal on the inside of the spokes matches up perfectly with the Steel gray on my C350.

That is very cool....when I got the model 810, that gunmetal matched my Palladium! It's like rolling out on custom-made wheels!

This is the style I've been eying on ebay which is also a local shop pretty close by but they didn't have them in 19's. Good to know you guys make them in 19's. Will call to get a quote for rims and tires. Thank you.

Wow, these look great! I've been looking for a set of wheels for my Steel Grey C for awhile and these look like they just might be the ones. Can't wait to see the pic Vipsa! lol I do have a question though. What is the difference between getting a staggered set up and same size all around? I have a 2010 C300 4MATIC, I believe they stock setup is staggered?

Sportstick, vipsa, thank you very much for your kind words. We are excited to provide a quality product at reasonable prices. The wheels do look fantastic, I am excited to see what it looks like vipsa!

Sportstick, your car looks mint! I am glad to hear you are still enjoying them

aznmode, we do have a few sets of these in 19x8.5, we are getting some more over the next 3 weeks.

Chuey, your stock tires I believe are staggered on 18x8 and 18x8.5 wheels. If you wanted to get new tires you could go with the same width all around which will allow you to rotate them and get more miles out of them.
If you liked the aggressive stance, the wider rear wheels allow you to go even wider with, say a 255/35/18 rear tire.

Another option is to run 18x8.5 all around and mount your stock staggered tires on them. It is absolutely safe, I have also done that on my personal car.

Thank you,

No problem, happy to help.
Are you considering staggered tires or the same all around? Also all weather or summer?

Thank you

Thank you,
Will you have staggered setup for 19's eventually?

Damn... I'd love to get a set 18s for my wife's C350, but I just got her a new set of tires for her OEM 17" AMG wheels, so can't really justify buying a new set again.

Maybe I should try, to convince her somehow, though...

These looks really nice. I am in the marker for new wheels as rubber on the stock c300 wheels are only 3mm left and will be planning to use those rims for a winter setup. I want to see these first mounted. Looking to buy 18" stock AMG wheel but these are wayyyyy cheaper than the real thing. Will these stick out more than the OEM 18" AMG wheels or just the same?

one other thing....can the stock wheel bolts be used on these wheels or you also supply those as well? Please PM me a price with tires on them.

Okay, I have to pull the trigger here. My car is screaming for rims. However, I can't decide whether to go with these 17s and stay with my current newish tires (225s and 245s). But the 17" rims don't come staggered, right? And do the 17s come in the 45mm off-set? Will there be issues running my staggered tires on 17x8 rims all around? Or...should I just go with 18s and put some Conti DWS' on them? Aaaargh! Someone help me! How about the 18" Style 814? Can I get those with the correct off-sets, staggered? How much ride quality will I lose? Anyone, feel free to chime in and make a decision for me!

When I got my wheels from Vassili in 2010 (see my earlier posting above), all they had were 17x8, which split the difference of the OE staggered size 17x7.5 front and 17x8.5 rears. I had just bought new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus in the staggered size. As Vassili advised, I took the 17x8 all around and mounted the new staggered tires. About three years later...no issues.

aznmode,
Those 818 SL63 style unfortunately are currently only available in 19x8.5... We will push for the factory to make the rears... We think we can make them but it will be a few months.

If you were interested in staggered we can recommend these 823s.. they are just as awesome looking in real life: 19x8.5/9.5 45mm



They will be here in 2 weeks.

TexFinn, we do have them in 17x8 also :-P so no need to change tires!

shotgun_banjo, they will have a similar stance to your OEM wheels... Maybe a couple of millimeters more pushed out to give it a slightly more aggressive look but they are well within the fenders. The wheel specs work 100%, we have had nothing but enthusiastic feedback on the way they sit on W204s.
Also the wheels will ship with the Mercedes center caps and you can use your stock bolts and TPMS sensors. New chrome bolts are $20 for a set of 20.

OCDBenz, as Sportstick mentioned you can keep your existing rubber and go with the 17s, they are not staggered but they will take the tires without any issues at all.
If you go with 18s, the tires are not that much more and you will have a more direct steering feel, less body roll (because of the reduced tire sidewall) and honestly, your car will LOOK better, typical with bigger wheels. You shouldn't lose any ride quality but if you will run them all year round you will miss the 17s in pothole season.

Hope this helps a little bit

Sport: As always, thanks for the feedback.

Vassili: I think I'll go with the 17x8, 42mm. I'll give you a call tomorrow and place my order. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the other wheel recommendation. And lastly if you are going to mount and balance them (which I prefer), what about the tpms?

EDIT: Disregard my request for more pictures as I see a few more on your website. Thank you.

Here's a few quick pics:

18x8.5/9.5 SL63 style wheels 45mm 9 *NEW* from PowerWheels Pro-dex8had.jpg

These are the square 18x8.5 wheels with staggered tires. Rears are 245/40/18 and the front are 235/40/18. I'm running on H&R SS springs with the 5mm rear pads and full tank of gas. Fitment is spot on with no issues.

Thanks for the pics I like how flushed the fronts are. 45mm offset seems good for front not so much the back but not bad at all overall.

vipsa, thank you so much for going in the trouble to post them. Your car looks awesome! Very clean look, sporty and classy.

aznmode, if you wanted to go with the wheel and tire package but use your stock TPMS, it can be done by your local tire store. All they do is deflate your stock tires, then push with their machine behind the valve stem to expose the sensor, then they unscrew it. Rinse and repeat 3 more times on the other tires.
Once they are off, they will deflate the new tires, push the tires in behind the valve stem and screw in the TPMS.

OCDBenz, thank you.

Regards,

I have a question, I have a 2011 C300 4matic, I would like a set of same width all around. I have no plans of lowering my vehicle or anything, would the 19's fit just fine? 8.5s or 9.5s? Sorry i'm really new to the whole car thing but these rims look really nice.

Well, keep in mind I went with a square setup in 8.5" all around and I'm also running narrower tires in the rear. The stock tires in the rear are 255 width and Vassili offers the wheels in a staggered setup with 9.5" (I believe) rears. I didn't go with the 9.5" as I already had the 245 tires from my old car and am not at all into the "stance" plague with stretched tires.
