Anybody know if there is a specific name for this 19” Mbz front wheel and/or recommendations on a good place to buy OEM wheels?
I was the victim of another Pennsylvania pothole last night and it looks like the previous weld repair cracked so I need to replace. I guess this solves the old conundrum of whether to repair or replace…

.
The part numberS (staggered check front and rear wheels, they are different) is on the back of the wheel but given the nature of the OEM 19s, I would recommend getting aftermarket 19s if you want to keep 19s or downsize to 18s for both wheel and tires, if you really want the OEM 19s, get rid of the run-flats. If you want to keep the run-flats, get aftermarket 19s.
Edit: Since your original question was the part numbers, I believe they are: A2054015400 (Front wheel) A2054016600 (Rear wheel) Remember there are different colours, yours looks like either a 7x21 or 7x23. so A20540154007x21 or A20540154007x23 for front for example.

Thanks for the info!
Run flats are long gone, I’m running Conti DWS06 tires at 42psi, hoping to give a bit more protection but that obviously didn’t work. I am tempted to drop down to 18’s but the 19’s look so much better and the Contis are pretty new so hate to scrap that investment. Problem this time was an already repaired wheel that cracked again so time for a “new” replacement.

You are welcome, happy to help.
They are too brittle for our cars unfortunately, as the other forum member advised, you should get another set of wheels. It will be cheaper in the long run instead of having to keep replacing these wheels, you could keep those tires, get a quality set of aftermarket 19s to use them again. You could get flow-form or forged but even aftermarket cast will be better than the OEM 19s.
FWIW, I had a great experience with James @WHEEL DESIGNERS getting a set of Stance wheels
Great advice, thanks all!
What should I look for in aftermarket wheels to ensure they’re not as brittle as the OEM AMG wheels? Specific alloy type or brands?

Those Stance wheels look great. Assume you're running staggered 19's? What width did you go and what size tires? I have fairly new Conti DWS06 225/40-19/255/35-19 that I'm hoping not to scrap.
I've learned way more about aftermarket wheel construction over the past few days. Would love to pop for forged but flow formed still should be much stronger than cast...which I assume the fragile OEMs are. One thing I was surprised to learn is that they're all custom made so you can't just buy them and have them shipped so I guess I'll be grounded for a few weeks once I decide on a wheel.
8.5 front 9.5 rear
Yes staggered 19s stayed with stock tire size
I have a set of dswo6 + from my ‘19. Loved them
Stance wheels, got them originally from James @ wheel designers
he was great
they came shipped ready to run with no spacers
had them refinished locally to put on my
“New to me” 20 c43

Got the Stance wheels on order and James was quite helpful. Thanks for the advice!
Thanks to Dick Head and Maverick for the advice on the Stance wheels and going through James at Wheel Designers. Quite happy with the look, now I’ve got to clean those calipers up!
No, we’re like that when I bought it used. Just haven’t had a chance to clean them but the paint looks to be in good shape. Would’ve done them in red myself.
