Chris:

You took off your other wheels? Are those Brabus wheels in your pic?

Yes.. those AMG wheels were terrible. First the front cracked on the way to MIR last year and when I had the car on the lift I noticed the rear wheel had the same exact crack in it. No interested in repairing them because I feel they will all crack sooner or later.

Those are not Brabus wheels.. those are Rädenergie R05 20x9 front / 20x10 rear, 3-piece forged wheels.

I got the pictures here: http://photo.thegetlucky.com/p635337375

I agree, I have posed several questions in the W215 section and have gotten no response. I know someone has to have the information, it's just getting the question into the right place.

I really think the OEM 65 wheels (2005-2006) are inherently defective. I also had a crack on one of my wheels and it wasn't like I hit anything too hard. We are hardly the only ones with this problem. I remember reading a disproportonate # of similar complaints on here considering the limited production of these vehicles carrying such wheels.

BTW the new wheels look great!

Tom thanks I appreciate it! I love the wheels that you have on the CL... I find that these aftermarket wheels are much better at showing the front brake setup than the 19" AMG 2-piece wheels. I posted about the wheels being defective some time ago, and got several people who also had similar cracking problems. Very surprising that AMG would let something like this slide.

Sadly no v12 here, but you all are missing two things:

Soldiers AND Miami/Ft Lauderdale representation

I present myself for these positions along with a stack of 100s for goodwill. I could even be AMG Fan's sottocapo.

We have a couple of soldiers (soldatos). If you do not have a V12TT you can not be "made". However, you can be an "Associate".
