These are my old wheels, I have the only 5x112 set made. The monoblocks are staggered 18x8 31 18x9 et35. I removed and polished out some curb rash but I will get them refinished when i get the car painted.

18x8 35 18x9 et30

You are one very lucky person to have found those wheels. They are exactly the ones I want for my 43 Could it be possible for you to weight the rims and give us the results?? It seems and plenty of people say they are heavy. Perhaps so, but indeed they are not magnesium wheels but are AMGs

these AMG rims are prone to lose their clearcoat.
I have seen many with clearcoat cancer.
Lovely rims but look like crap if they had the clear coat peeled off!

Yeah, the clear coat on the lips is pretty thin. When I get the car painted I will have them re machine and clear the lips. The centers are mint so it's just a problem with the lips. OEM wheels are always very heavy compared to other aftermarket wheels i've had, but i'll weigh each one later today.

The old wheels I got them raw and blank from the manufacturer. I had them drilled and painted. I'm going to keep them as spare wheels.
