What rims to get clk550
So i took my Clk to local Manhettan MB and they told me i have 3 cracked rims and i need to get them replaced with 3 new tires... while i have 2 brand new ones.. probly thinking im stupid.
So the price was from them 1500 per rim and 450 per tire. thats 6k ROFL! so im telling them not to touch my car take it to a diff shop and order a set of rims for about 3-4k.... any opinion on some rims in that price range?
Thank you.

if you get some poor quality reps, you may have problems, but ive seen alot of members with good looking/good quality replicas and they have had no problems with wheel shake. ill do a quick search and post some ideas for you.

lol yeah that quote is alil rediculous.
well I know Foose makes some good quality sporty wheels, but more for mopar than benz...
Mandrus makes a few different wheels specifically for mercedes benz vehicles. They are ok imo.
Lorenzo makes a good looking multi spoke wheel which i almost got until i decided on mine.
MHT makes some high quality forged wheels that would be close to 1k per wheel.
then there is always BBS which would be right around your budget, and HRE which maybe out of your budget.
you can also try ebay for 19" AMG wheels and there are a few on there worth considering.
all in all its really up to you and your style. what color/model is your CLK?

do u live in the city? if so,and u decide to get 19's,u will probably be replacing a wheel and tire every few months. something to think about. thats the reason my car has the stock 17's.if ur set on 19's, look at the Forgestar wheels.they are cheap and well made.and they look good. GL

They are C63 replicas.
You can get them on ebay.
This is NOT the exact seller, mine are 9.5 in the back too.
