CLS55 replacement wheels

Are these cheap reproduction wheels not worth the trouble? My wife has scratched up two of the original rims quite badly on her CLS55.

I am sure they are not the original AMG wheels. I am just tempted by the price since she is most likely to scratch them up again. Isn't the original whheel a lighter two pieces design? BTW isn't the original offset for the front wheel is +25mm and +31mm for the rear? Please confirm if anyone knows for sure.
I knew she should have purchased the parktronic. Oh well.

the tilting mirror will help you protect your wheels from scratches more than the parktronic will.... you should also check out the cls amg forum.

E 63S Wagon Renntech, E55 Renntech, SL65, SL 55 030, ML, bunch of old ones--they come, they go...
If you haven't checked, that won't cover one....

much less two wheels. I know, I just priced a set. The fronts are around $800 each, and the rears are close to $900 each. Ridiculous for a silver painted one piece cast wheel. BTW, anyone here have a set of takeoffs from a CLS 55 or 63? I could use em....

06 CLS55 AMG
All,

Just a note. I have the amg style rims 19 inch on my cls and they look great. However, i bent one rim and cracked the 2 front rims in 4 mons after owning them. I wouldnt buy them again. I am currently thinking of buying the TSW Bremmas, with somewhat of a lip in the rear wheels. This time in 20's If any of you got em let us know your experience with TSW bremmas.

thanks
