Where to get a genuine AMG 17" 5-spoke wheel CHEAP

Anyone know where i can get a cheap one of these?

Mine's bent and i might replace it soon. I wouldnt want to spend more than $200. I got the car aligned,balanced,and had new tires put on. (hankook ventus rs2). The difference is amazing.

The wheels are 17" 5 spoke AMGs. I dont want any knock offs.

Just get the bent wheel fixed

I have the exact same wheels. I had the same sitution/problem. When I bought my 2000 clk 430 last year, I would get ugly vibrations at around 50mph. It was just ruining the experience. I thought it needed balancing, but almost all the wheels were bent to some degree. I thought about getting new ones, but original AMG's are expensive (~$800)and if you get used ones, you run into the risk of them being slightly bent too.

Best bet...go to www.wheelwizard.com. In Atlanta, (where rims are king) all the tire shops swear by them. I got mine fixed there for about $145/wheel I went ahead and got them re-coated for an extra $35 and they look like new!!

Basically that's $180 (plus shipping) for a brand new rim.

I haven't gotten all of mine done yet so maybe I'll post some b4 & after pictures. The rims getting bent just come with buying low profile tires.
