A sneak peek, until I get all of them in and the tires mounted.

AMG Gen V (E63) replicas. Front: 17x8 ET35 with 225/45/17. Rear: 18x8.5 ET25 with 245/35/18.

wow!
those will look so sick

where did you purchase them?

importfan21

Thanks!

However, these are almost always out of stock. In fact, the rears haven't been in stock in over a month (and they were supposed to be in stock mid-May ). Let me finish buying my set before you get yours! lmao

Here's some shots with them on a 500E (a guy from Benzworld I ran into at H2Oi last year).

they look dope man!
you mention they are replicas?
I notice the AMG logo on your rim???

that 500 looks fukk azz seksi!
power rear blind and wider wheel arches, ooooooooooooooooooooh man that's hot!

importfan21

Yes, replicas despite the logo (if you were to look closely, the "A" is not the same). But at first glance, it fooled my friend. He thought I dished out big $$$ for them.

KJI3jflarryfe93

can they put AMG logo on faux rims?????????
that's name trespassing!

importfan21

The "A" actually has a small gap in it (think of it being cut in half vertically, with each half of the "A" spaced apart a tad). Therefore, it technically isn't the real logo. At least that's what I'm thinking. Regardless, I could care less.

I can take and post a pic of the logo later if you guys are curious.

Those are 17s fronts and 18s rears, right? Cool setup.... Reminds me of the Corvettes...

KJI3jflarryfe93

please send a close up, thanx.

I've seen several socalled rims on Fleabay from UK and Germany I've been tempted to buy new AMG rims for my car and replacing my old Brabus rims.
But now I'm affraid that if I buy Fleabay rims they are going to be faux and the seller claims they are genuine stuff.

I found a real hardcore set on Ebay in Germany but I dunno anymore??
Daem!

Jasssc

are they VI's?? If so, I am so down to buy them, but shipping would probably kill me!


also, I would like to see a closeup of the logo as well please

Why are all the wheel on http://www.oewheelsllc.com/ out off stock. and thet are pretty damn cheap to. Do they just sell a lot off wheels or is there something else?

importfan21

Yep. I wanted 18s front/rear, but no 18s came in a width/offset combination that would fit our cars (as discussed in an earlier thread I started), so I went with 17s in the front, with a bigger tire (hope that doesn't look too bad).

I think those are authentic. My 2 cents.

I've seen them in stock, but they sell out quick. Not sure if they make small quantities or what.

Close-up of the logo:

KJI3jflarryfe93

sorry to disapoint you they are genuine hardcore Monoblock V's!
here's a sneak preview.
shipping would kill ya, sorry.

KJI3jflarryfe93

I bet it was a clever company cutting the A in the middle!
you can fool a novise but the real hardore AMG enthusiast will say WTF??

importfan21

Haha, yeah. But I'm sure that a hardcore enthusiast would understand why I (we) go the replica route. Authentic is too d*** expensive! It'll fool anyone from a distance though. Not many people will be on their knees looking at my wheels.

KJI3jflarryfe93

I will get down and get dirty inspecting your ////AMG logo
yeah buying genuine stuff is x-pensive I know.

about my attached german ebay link, looking at those sexy AMG rims, the ////AMG logo looks authentic but then ther are no logos on the boxes in the pictures??
All genuine stuff from AMG carries the logo on the box IIRC?

importfan21

Those boxes aren't AMG or even MB boxes, just plain boxes. You want your boxes to be authentic too? lmao

w202mylove

kowalski i like the wheels from your link, i see many amg reps on ebay but i am afraid of buying bad wheels i dont want to get a crack in my wheels or something like that. when driving 200km/h. Do you guys think it is save to buy rep wheels from what sites should i het them?

DRBC43AMG

Don't buy replicas. Bad stuff and dangerous too. Save your $$$ to buy the real stuff and never have problems (normally....)

importfan21

You're talking to a college student here.

And these replicas are TUV-approved (and yes, there are stampings on the wheels). Good enough for me.

DRBC43AMG

OK, if TÜV approved, no problem. Being a student = not much dough. Being older does not mean having much more $$ (after 2 divorces)

503C43 ////AMG

Just like the "AMG" logo whos to say the "TUV" stamp isn't fake either???

The people who are making these rims know exactly what needs to be done to avoid being penalized for copyright infringement.

the "AMG" logo looks more like "F A M E" to me and I am sure they did that on purpose to avoid lawsuits with a world wide multi billion dollar company that is MB. I will admit they did an amazing job of making it look like the AMG logo from a distance

All of that being said, I do like how the rims look. Can't wait to see a pic

DRBC43AMG

Hmmmm can be confusing indeed

importfan21

Update:
Got my second front wheel in, ordered the 2 rears (they were in stock--a rarity!); they'll be in Friday. Also, got all my rubber. Running Falken Ziex's 225/45/17 in the front and General Exclaim's 235/40/18 in the rear (got 2 sets of those ).

Everything will be mounted and on the car by next Wed/Thurs. Can't wait!

DRBC43AMG

Why 235's?? Less wide than stock!
