Tire Rack Wheels?

As in a previous post on Snow Tires I have decided to purchase winter tires mounted on their own rims for my E350 4Matic. I have been very pleased with my tire purchases from Tire Rack before. In a forum on Car Space many people were complaining about wheels purchased from Tire Rack were bending or denting very easily. Have any of you run into this problem? Does anyone know a good place to purchase reasonably priced good looking wheels for their W211?

Over the years I have bought 4 or 5 sets of rims from Tire Rack, including OZ and BBS rims. I have never had a problem that I blamed on these rims. Street maintenance is just as good in DC as the snow removal which I mentioned in the snow tires thread, and so infrequently I have damaged rims, but this has happened as often with the rims which came with the cars as with the Tire Rack rims. Perhaps it helps that I have not gone bigger than 17 inches.

I love TireRack and I have ordered wheels, brake pads, rotors and other stuff from them; never had a quality or delivery issue. Best part I like is their superfast delivery from their nearest depot.
