Just found out I have 3 cracked rims!!!
 

Any ideas of what rims to get next? I only have the car for another year so I'm not looking to spend more than about 600 a wheel.

Just repaired one of mine today, small crack that was leaking air.

I crack my rims all the time, have them repaired.

That was my problem, but I just don't want to keep repairing rims that are cracked over and over.

Good ol' eBay rim quality. :y

Not really, mine were authentic AMGs. They're heavy and soft at the same time

Get the 19 AMG rims. so pretty.

how the hell do you guys crack rims? a rim isn't an easy thing to crack...

What do you mean "crack"??? Spoke? Picture please...

Some of u guys are just so lucky when it comes to roads...here in NYC/NJ you're lucky to go 2 miles on a road before u encounter a pothole that will ruin your wheels. That along with cracks, patches, and ditches after the plows dug up all the roads. With all the rain also this year in the northeast Im going to have to wait til May to put my wheels back on.

Danny, get some Forgestars.

No picture but it was 2cm on the inner lip front left wheel

I love MHT's Monotec line. Not sure on cost, but I called and all of they're wheels will fit a C63

How about the HD steel police car wheels?????????????

i have one extra front and rear if you want to try to piece together replacement 18's. they sustained minor cosmetic damage which I'm about to have fixed by my wheel repair guy. no cracks, bends and spin perfectly.

Cracked? If these wheels are really cracking them they need to be recalled, period. Some aftermarket wheels have been criticized because they bend too easily, but I have been told more than once that the reason they are "softer" is to avoid a catastrophic failure at autobahn speed, i.e., cracks that will cause a wheel to come apart at speed. Can someone who has experienced this post a photo of an actual crack?

I purchased the tire and wheel protection so if anything does happen I am covered. That is an option for new buyers.

that is why I haven't changed my rims for 19". with the pp option i'm sure i would break anything bigger than my 18", kind of sux.

I can maybe take a picture of the repair they did, which was just welded metal over the crack.

That is why the 19" AMG V are not offered in the USA.

+1

MB must think more of you guys than us or otherwise they’re frightened of litigation. They offer them to us as an option and most our roads are atrocious, potholes everywhere.

I’d be interested to see photos from anyone who’s had a problem with the AMG’s. I wonder if it’s a case of bad luck for just a few or a more serious common fault.




Are you talking about damage to AMG rims or aftermarket?

What brand are those in your photo?

.

whoa...it would be great if you could post some pictures. i just installed the 19" multi-spokes and as mentioned already the roads in the NE are terrible right now.

I'm assuming its the 19" AMG replicas that are cracked, not the OEM 18s...?
