C55 Rim Help

Well I had a recent accident with my car, nothing was damaged except I managed to crack the rear rim and pop the tire. So now I need a rim and don't have a spare. Does any one know where I can buy a rear c55 rim. If all else fails, I will go to the dealer, but I'm sure they will charge 500+ just for one rim. If anyone knows some one in Houston that may have this rim or has one that they are willing to part with, please send me a pm or an email at acmcss1987@aol.com.

I had a little road rash on mine about one year ago. I had it repainted by an outfit in Houston. It turned out ok, but he said it was bent and they had to re-straighten. So, I decided to buy a new one from Tire Rack. They are OEM rims and it was on sale for about $400.

Hope this helps!

If the dealer ends up being more then you thought, you could go this route

Thanks every one for your replies. I'm hoping the dealer will be reasonable, but there's a reason they call them the stealership. Hopefully I can find some one that can get me a discount at the dealer. That was a good deal for the rims, I just had no idea this was going to happen.

I was thinking about buying 17', but that is going to be the worst case scenario. I figure if I buy 17" I will have to buy tires as well and it's going to cost me quite a bit.

Here's a link to the rim I found, I'm thinking that this is off an e55.

I would call Duval Motor Cars in Gainesville, FL .... I've read they are the cheapest around for OEM parts ....

Thanks for the link, I'm definitely going to give them a call tomorrow and find out how much it's going to cost me. Anyone have a part # for the rear c55 rim? I'm going to look for it on the rim tomorrow and my search is not working for some odd reason.

So I called duval motor cars and it looks like the rim costs $663 with their discount, apparently msrp is $850. I'm expecting that most dealers will be selling them around that price. The part number for the rear rim is 66031342 if you're ever in the same predicament as me. If anybody has any idea where I can find one please let me know.


OEM Catalog
Item Number MSRP Core Price Price
66031342 $850.00 $0.00 $663.00

they don't have the 18's only the 17's. I cheked with them already. I'm thinking I may have a suspension problem as well, not sure until I actually drive it. If that's the case I may just claim it under my insurance and let them take care of the whole thing.
