Where are 204 wheels made?
This is kinda dumb, but I put brakes on my car today, and I thoroughly cleaned my wheels while I was about it.
I bought my car new, and I saw it come off the truck with just a mile or so on the clock. It has never been anywhere else.
But today, I found that my car has three wheels made in Germany, and one made in Poland. The wheels, other than the "made in" stamp, are identical. The car has 73K miles, is on its third set of tires, and tracks straight as an arrow. I have no complaints, but its bugging me that it isn't all from one place. (the car was built in Bremen on January 8, 2008)
Any thoughts? Is this normal? Would it bug you?

My C Class wheels were made in Belgium.
My SLK class wheels were made in Germany.
The W204 cabin filter (mann or genuine) always comes from Czech Republic. It's amazing all the sources that go into making a car.

Yes. Some of the AMG styles are Austrian. It's luck of the draw. 99% of Elegance & Avantgarde, Luxury & Sport wheels are made at TSW wheels SA & some AMG. Interestingly the Austrian AMG wheels have displayed some cracking in our market.
