The vast majority of eBay and aftermarket wheels are Chinese junk that are not tested to MB or AMG standards. There are a few venerable alternatives but I did not see any at Lime Rock driving school last week!

As a poster said why risk your car or your life?

We have always had good luck with Asanti, I would call them and talk to Brian or Paul.

Good news is we have some clearance HRE's instock if someone needs them. $2500 delivered for $8000 wheels is a steal.
