These are NOT AMGs...they're replicas (AMG is NOT enscribed on the face). And the style is not MONOBLOCK I, it's MONOBLOCK II

If they are BRAND NEW as you described, you should be able to return them to the store you bought them from. Just tell them what car the wheels are going on and they should be able to cross reference the required specs.

Good idea Cal. And Chris I deleted them yesterday, but there is a sub option that says Do Not Delete and Delete this message. Didnt click Do Not Delete and clicked the master selection. Should be taken care of know. Sorry for the advertisement just trying to get rid of these.

Even though you bought them from ebay, they are obviously brand new rims. I'm assuming the seller is some kind of dealer who should be able to work something out with you.
I'm curious though...I was looking at your stable of cars and it's an impressive list. What's a guy with a 500E & 300E, BMW M6 & 533i doing buying REPLICA wheels on EBAY? Anyway, worst case scenerio put them on your 300E. I'm sure it'll fit perfectly.

Thanks for you complement. Orignially I bought these for my 300e, I didnt really want to put to much money into that car. Time passed and I purchased my 500e. My 300e crapped out on me which was really hurtful but what can you do, so I was stuck with these rims. Thought I tried a fit on my 500e but those puppy cant handle the 500's.
I am in the market for 18in Brabus 3pc. I think a 18in Brabus would look nice or a 17in REAL AMG Aero Monoblock II, dont like to ghettofy the car, its a classic.

Out of curiosity, how did your 300 crap out? Honestly it wouldn't be a bad investment to get it going again. MBs really hold their value and assuming you haven't gotten rid of it yet I think you can make some decent change if you get it up to par. If you weren't all the way on the east coast I'd be interested in those rims even though they're only replicas. I've been looking for some affordable replicas for quite a while but I never seem to find any that are reasonably priced. Good luck on the sale.

I love that 300e but, the rear mounting joints are rusted out and I need a welder to weld it. A welder took a look at it and said its very dangerous to even have this car, the rear axel will just pull of the rear flex disc and there no frame to weld it to becuase of the rust. I will have another welder take a look at it and hopefully someone can do something. Its a 5-speed so I would love to keep it, unless someone else wants to take over you can PM me or I will just donate it.

I also have a 1986 300E. I wish you lived around my area...I would have taken it from you in a heartbeat. I really miss driving a stick shift. In fact, I almost got a BMW over the Mercedes because I wanted a stick shift...but my dad convinced me to get the Mercedes (Since I was 5yo, my dad had always loved the older 70-80's Mercedes because they're very reliable.)
My dream car would be to have a W124 coupe STICK SHIFT. Although I don't think there's one out there...I'll probably have to switch the transmissions myself.
Anyway, don't bother trying to fix that rear mounting joint, it's just too risky. The car is old and with something like that broken, do the "right thing" and let it rest in peace. I'm sure you can part it out before sending it to the junk yard.

I am going to miss my 300e, "Bambi", she was my first car. I was in the same situation you were, I loved stick shifts so I wanted a BMW, fatefully I found the Mercedes in a 5-speed and I jumped on it. That engine is so strong its so painful just give it away becuase of the rear. The interior is imacualte, sails through the highway no noise. But it is very risky and with the rust, theres nothing I can do. I will let some other welders and shops take a look at it and see what happens.
