Yesterday I cut a tire and put a bad gouge in one rim. I think the factory AMG wheels on an '08 CLK 550 are sort of fugly anyway, so I'm looking for an excuse to change them and replace the cheapo Kumho tires it had when I bought it.

I've always liked these alternate factory OEM wheels like shown in this link, which a few members here have. Finish Line Wheels has reconditioned OEM Mercedes wheels for what seems like an unbelievably low price - a full set shipped for about $880. Anybody had good/bad experiences with Finsh Line?

For anybody who has these exact wheels, I assume no fitment issues or spacers needed?

they look good and for oem its a great price. i assume since its oem, they wont have fitment issues but do you want the 8/8.5 stagger to your car? or would you wanna go wider.

an excuse for new rims is awesome but you gotta think about the rim size you want. since you are going with new rims all around, why not go wide =P

Good point. I did a bit of research since I first posted, and Finish Line might be a bit sketchy. And they apear not to actually have much of what they advertise. I will keep researching.

i recommend for a standard set up, powerwheelspro.

i think they are a sponsor on the forum. i have a set from them. brabus vi rep. its lasted m 2 years. no major problems. unfortuantely i have curbed one of the rims pretty badly, friend drove it over a curb around a corner. a chunk came off. no air leaks, wheels are still good.

lol if i wasnt considering 19s, id get another set from powerwheelpro.

just a suggestion. btw i have 18x8.5/9.5
