Who manufactures amg OEM wheels?

I recently sold the brand new set of split 5 spoke wheels off of my new C63. The buyer from the boards is now accusing me of sending him fake wheels and said that they were Ronal Wheels, and not OEMs.

These wheels came DIRECTLY off of my brand new C63 and were shipped to him. I went outside and checked the other set of oem wheels from my first C63, and saw that it said RONAL on the inside. I am now quite confused, because those were the wheels that came directly off of my first C63.

Does Ronal manufacture the OEM wheels for mercedes or something?? I really don't appreciate these accusations from the buyer.

This thread says the Ronal marking are on the OEM Original wheels.

There should be a part number stamped on it too, get him to check for the part number.

My wife's R350 has OEM AMG wheels and it says Ronal at the back along with the MB logo and part number.
So yes, Ronal manufactures AMG wheels.

Borbet made the original 5 spoke C63 AMG wheels not the split spoke wheels.

Well... Your SLS is far higher up the ladder than our C's. But wow Ronal does work for a lot of big names according to the post above yours!

Thanks guys, this is very reassuring! I contacted the buyer and pointed him to this thread and a few other sources I found.
