Best wheels for my E350 Coupe?
I recently had an issue with my tire that ended up cracking one of my AMG wheels a tiny bit. This of course was very unfortunate for me, but I think for my new wheels I plan on getting aftermarket ones. Does anyone here have a brand or specific model of wheel that they are fans of? Im not opposed to any wheel as long as it is a good quality one. Also if anyone has any recommendations as to what i should do with my cracked wheel and the remaining three wheels in the set please let me know. Would I be able to sell them or are they worthless?
Thanks!
Thanks!

OP...Check into having it repaired. If properly welded it would be structurally ok. Once re-finished it would be ok to sell. Of course you would need before and after pics to show the buyer.
I am old school and prefer to have any aftermarket wheel forged , preferably fully drop forged not rolled from a cast blank. Forged wheels are stronger, that is why motorsports use them for high load, high speed conditions.
You will pay more but in the end they will be more robust.
OT but if you are running run-flat tires then change to normal tires as those are much kinder to the wheels, the suspension and eventually your wallet...
