Where to buy 210 E55 wheels, real or reps

My C43 needs tires real bad, I don't want to invest in new 17" tires because I want to go with the 18" 210 wheels, any ideas where I can find some? I am willing to pay the dough for some nice ones. Thanks.

I recently saw a set of real ones sell on Ebay for about 350+shipping. This was less than two weeks ago. Keep your eyes peeled on there and I'm sure you can find something

This one looks promising. Anyone ever deal with them?

Another option - VWVortex's wheel and tire classifieds section. I surf over there to check up. Those Dub guys are nuts with wheels. They have a 5x112 specific section! There are frequently genuine AMG or replicas for sale there, sometimes new ones from vendors, sometimes used.

I'd like to do the same and snag a set of 210 E55 wheels, genuine or replica too. Or perhaps the AMG 801 style from these guys:

I called Wheels and Caps yesterday and left a message, no call back today. In my experience this doesn't give me warm and fuzzys to do business with them, anyone have a different experience?

Id keep the search goin for some OEM AMGs. AMG reps just look stupid on a true AMG. Plus a set of used OEMs cost less than new crappy made reps.
Classifieds on all the benz sites, craigslist.org, plus vwvortex 5X112 section as mentioned is a great plus to look.

Oh yeah, the S2000 crowd, and lots of Nissan fans too, get wheels from rbwheels.com. Not a lot of 5x112, but right now I think they have a few sets of AMG wheels, but they tend to be older styles or 17s.

I agree, with more thought I will be looking for the OEM W210 wheels, I am just impatient as I need tires now!
