I'm looking for these in staggered anywhere from 18x8.5 to 18x10, offset should be about 25.

Are you serious? The lip is crazy on it. So much it looks fake! It's going to poke out like crazy or not clear the brake IMO.

Here is a very helpful link to all Mercedes models regarding rim width, diameter and offset.

http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/inf.../mercedes-benz

Here is a link to where you can purchase them from.

http://www.coast2coastinternational.com/cci-wheels.html

CCI Wheels makes replica Monoblock Aero II's. mrwheeldeal.com will find you the cheapest price shipped to your door.

Good Luck!

Thanks guys. I've been looking over the fitment guide and you're right, something with a lip like that is probably going to be be too big unless I mod the fender. The AMG SL (18x8.5,18x10) that come on the r129 might be my best bet, but I can't tell if the lip on those is any bigger than the Monoblock Aero II? I wouldn't want it if it isn't.

Alternatively, if I can't have the type of deep dish I was hoping for, I might just go for a lightweight rim although they just don't look right on these cars...

Big ups for letting me know about MrWheelDeal, that site looks great!

If you want to run AMG Monoblocks with lips like that, you'll probably have to have a stock wheel lip made. There are several places that do it, but as you've already noted, fitment will be an issue without fender modification.

No worries as you're very welcome! I have gotten many quotes on several wheel applications and MrWheelDeal always beats it. Good Luck!
