Need advice for new wheels
Hello everyone,
I wanted to upgrade my standard 5 spoke silver wheels on my 14 CLS550 to the black '63 10-spokes. I have found them at two different sites
http://www.ebay.com/itm/232065144769?ul_noapp=true
These are claimed to be OEM, but slightly used. Will be more expensive (Wheels are at the bottom).
Which would you guys go with? The replica wheel is said to be up to TUV / JWL standards. Would I risk anything going with replicas, or is there a chance that one bad pothole will lead to a broken wheel, and I should just splash the cash for OEM? I would love any comments / thoughts.

Ive always regretted the replica route. I had a set on my last CLS and they would never balance out and always had a slight vibration. I am selling my AMG wheels of my CLS63 S. Not sure how much you're trying to spend but they will be priced to sell wheels tires and sensors..

Depending on what you plan to spend I would say go with some take offs or either buy new, otherwise the reps would be my 3rd option. Buying used wheels is a hit or miss but I would feel a little more comfortable if they came from a fellow member. Otherwise, used wheels can lead to many problems.
