Bent a rim!

I have a bent front rim on my "12 CLS 550 AMG Sport package. It's the 18 x 8.5 AMG rim.. and I know that I can find a ton of those on the interwebs. The only glitch.. All my rims are chrome. not just polished or machined aluminum... CHROME. I've been told that this was not even an option on this car. I am the second owner.

Where can I find one?

Thanks to the forum!

You should try searching for replicas. If it wasn't an option on the car then, very likely it was a replica.

I had both of my front wheels bent last month that I had straightened. Call you local tire shops, I bet they know who can fix them. Cost me $150 per wheel.

Not a replica. Genuine MB. I wonder if sending it off for straightening would screw up the plating...

more than likely that straightening would mess up the chrome. Pretty much no one in north america or europe will re-plate chrome wheels.

Is there a part number on the inside of the wheel?
