Tire Rack Wheels VS OEM
How can the 18" OZ's Tire Rack offers weigh the same as the stock rims that are on my C32. I always thought that Rep's weighed more than OEM wheels. That is even comparing 17" to 17's. In this case their 18"s weight the same as the OEM 17's.
Secoond question is I assume Tire Rack as a deal with MB since they are selling OEM set's also? They are selling the OEM sets for half the price a Benz dealer would charge.

OZ wheels are very high quality. Their 18” do weigh less than the AMG 17”.
Here’s a worthwhile wheel thread from the W203 forum.
I’ve purchased AMG wheels from Tire Rack for ~$400 each. Perfect in every regard, and identical to the as-delivered wheels. Only disappointment was they sent a customer satisfaction survey a month hence, along with a “special discount” offering them for $350!

They looked like decent wheels they where 18" OZ's and they were only like $325 a piece.
