Can't believe it, I had my C55 for less than a month and I already busted a flat on my front left tire. I really hope the wheel is not bent cause dealers saying a new one will cost $850 and it would take a week to get it.

The stock C55 wheel is USD$350 in the States
Here in HK is USD$450 each, 3 weeks to deliver
Not sure why you said it is $850?

what happened ?!?

Where can I get it for $350? The one dealer I called said $850, although the guy I spoke to had a heavy accent.

I busted it on the Belt Parkway here in brooklyn, new york. There are sections of road on here where old pavement meets new pavement. They are not smooth transisitions, kinda like a 1 inch ridge, I hit that at only 55mph and busted a flat.

whatever you do, never buy wheels/tires from the dealer. Call the tirerack or something like it.

ooohhh, yes - a true indication of dishonesty...

cldriver

when I said he had a heavy accent, I wasn't implying that he could be dishonest(even if he might be), I was implying I could've heard him wrong.

btw-its funny(but not unusual) how people like you join a forum and make their first post something like the above, rather than something informative or helpful. Are you a disgruntled ex-C32 owner?

that's a bummer. can you sue the city for the damage ? i mean, they did cause the damage.

tirerack doesn't have it.....where do you get it for $350?

You can check my post, I hit a curb and need a new rim as well. My dealer told me $1100 and that it would have to come from the motherland. AMG has not released that wheel to the aftermarket according to Luke at tirerack.

I was quoted 750 for a 2003 c32 wheel from the dealer.

hmm...I might have these guys repair the wheel instead.
