Don't know the part number but I'll just warn you, these things are ABSURDLY priced. You're looking at $6k or more for a set and that doesn't include tires or sensors. Better off buying a set of HRE or something else.
Thanks guys, unfortunately I will have to spend the money as I smashed the 2 driver side ones yesterday. Passenger side are still good. Nothing from MB is cheap.
I've found the replicas don't have the machined lip on the rim. Not an issue if you have a full set but a bit more of a problem if you have 2 good originals on the other side.
These are in Ireland. The only real difference from the originals are the lip of the rim and these are gloss black, not matt black. Very good price though for something that an untrained eye would not pick up on.
links to replicas? i only seen ebay reps for 700-900
All the replicas are made in China anyway - doesn't matter what vendor you get them from. I have some ebay 19" multispokes that have been on my car for about a year with no issues. Agreed that the untrained eye would have no idea they are replicas.
I'm not claiming they're as good as OEM, but I didn't want to spend $4K on rims.
Update for anyone who is interested, I managed to source the originals through another dealership in the UK. Front one priced at Ģ630+VAT, Rear one priced at Ģ670+VAT. Just over Ģ1500 for 2 wheels, very expensive but at least it will be looking A1 again.
