newbie intro and wheel question.

howdy folks,

I just bought a damaged 05 C55 form a member of this forum, so I am a bit of a newbie on AMG's. The car has very minimal damage, but both drivers side Brabus wheels are whacked far beyond repair. The question is: where would I find matching Brabus wheels or where can I find a set of stock AMG wheels? Honesty I prefer stocks over these Brabus.

anybody have any stock wheels sitting around?

many thanks! Very glad to have found this forum.

This forum is probably your best place to find. Also, check your suspension components make sure nothing is bent.

thanks for the reply Viper. Indeed I am replacing basically all rear control arms, hub, and lower A frame. Most, if not all damage was caused by the bent out of shape rims rotating around mangling components. Will keep my eye out for stock 18" AMG rims.

I did in fact pick up rear rims for an 09 C300 AMG, but I now need fronts as well.
