Question on rims
Hello, I am new here. Excuse me if there is another question, as mine.
I am going to purchase new rims in the next months for my car. Unfortunately, I have bought summer and winter tyres (225/45/17), which means I am limited with my choise to rims with width of 7.5J or maximum 8.0J and 17 inches diameter... I wanted to put used AMG Sport rims, but unfortunately I have to change 4 tyres, in order to have them.... (AMG sport rims are 8.5J).
So my question is, could you recommend a qualitative brand for rims. I saw that there are some replicas of AMG sport rims (RIAL, DEZENT, etc), but I am not sure about their quality... And other idea for rims?

I recently made friends with someone who deals wheels and I asked him about forged/cast/OEM/aftermarket wheels. One thing he said that I believe holds truth is cheap rims will crack easily and not last, established brands that have a thorough and quality process of manufacturing for the most part will show the durability wanted. I’m not a fan of replicas. You should be fine if you get 4 fronts or just buy a rear set of tires. If that was an option on your car.

Enkie is an established brand and affordable. Other budget friendly one would be TSW. I don’t know about borbet. You should spend time to find something you like then research the companies reputation. I would also recommend looking for used Mercedes wheels as well as an option.

I think part of it comes down to how much the wheel is. Not all cast/forged wheels are the same as far as durability/quality. Even within the same brand. What is your budget approximately?

Borbet makes AMG rims for Mercedes. I would get authentic AMG rims. You pay for what you get. Ebay always have some listed. Just be patient and get a good set. That’s what I did.

I had TSWs (Rotary Forged) on my C350. I had them for 7 years (45,000 miles). I never had any problems and I ran a small stretch at the rear...255 on a 10.5 inch wide wheel. I've also had success with Savini Da Vinci's on my GTR and Niche on my Maserati. I won't spend more than $2500 for a set of wheels.
