I purchased a very similar set from Vince at Power Wheels Pro. He was very helpful and gave me all of the information and assistance I asked for.

They have the AMG stamp on them and come with Mercedes center caps. I can personally verify that these wheels look amazing in person. Vince is a stand-up guy and I'd recommend him to anyone.

My wheels are "Sport Edition" from the Tire Rack. I have nothing but good things to say about them. "Sport Edition" is a replica in house brand.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
8.5

is the width of the rim in inches, it has nothing to do with the width of the tire.
A 225/40/18 should fit the front on a 25 et

rear a 245/35/18 on a 30 et rim if you are going staggered.
AMG for your model call for
18x8 31et 225/40R18 18x9 35et 255/35R18
so order the correct sizes now since a 25et on the rear might rub the fender since it will be pushed out way to the outside.
if not staggering 225/40/18's on 18/8.5 with 30et rims will do fine.
Curious why replicas when real amg rims are on sale on craigslist daily and in the member ads on the mb forums.
And better quality replicas on tirerack or discount tire.
btw 8.5 inches is 216mm rim width
245mm tire width is 9.64 inches that's why it rubbed on the front the tire was to wide
measure twice,install once

i'm trying to find a sight where i can buy a rear oem wheel. my right rear one has a different, less smooth feel than my others and does not shine like the others as much.

Get it redone or refinished. There's a ton of guys who do that!!
