E55 then E63, now back to an E55
Replica and Factory AMG Style Wheels
Some1 told me today a few companies manufacture replica AMG wheels, even have AMG stamped by the lug nuts. Is this true? I bought an E55 but it has winter tires on it, and TPMS doesn't work. Maybe the previous owner had two sets of wheels, and the winter set I got is of replica wheels? What is a sure way to know, without taking wheel off and looking at the stamp on inside -and what would true AMG wheel serial numbers look like? I'm concerned- thanks in advance!
