You get what you pay for when it comes to wheels and tires. Be very careful of cheap replica wheels. Would you really trust your life rolling on a set of $300.00 wheels?

Not me.

djrabbi

Well aren't all replica wheels have to be a concern? But the d-bag is now asking for $550 (which still isn't bad) cause hes like ohhhhh im not open to the public so even if u lived 5 minutes away, i still need to charge u shipping....soo basically he puts cheaps prices and jacks up shipping...

I would never put a cheap replica on any of my cars, except for maybe winter driving with snow tires. I just don't trust them at high speeds.

Also, those are not even C63 replica wheels. They're just a cheap wheel that happens to have an MB center cap, nothing more.

And, if he's gonna do the bait and switch, why would you even consider them?


You should take a serious look at these:

They're true OEM AMG wheels that are a guarantee perfect fit for your car. his price is reasonable, and if you're interested, I'll buy the tires from you to offset your cost.


Also keep in mind that most of these cheap, cast, replica wheels have a standard offset to keep manufacturing costs down. You'll be expected to run a spacer in many applications.

This is true, thats why I kinda yelled at him for being a dick. I also found another set on eBay...they OEM hopefully I win those first before I have to settle for replicas...

Heres are what those C63 replicas look like on E-Class

Those aren't the same wheels as the ones in your first post. The one's in your first post, have spaces in the spokes, these are solid. These appear to be true E63 AMG wheels.

Post the ebay link to the ones you think are OEM, we can probably take an educated guess as if they're OEM or not.

I would buy your wheels Benz-O-Rama but I don't have that much cash......unless u take a lifetime of Ledo's Pizza (my uncle owns one)

Those appear to be true OEM wheels. But looking at the model #'s of A230XXXX, that tells me that these were on an R230 SL-Class. The offset will be a bit off, but will fit. Those tires look spent though.

Oh, and my wheels sold yesterday.

I practically gave them away.

djrabbi

Oh whats the biggest offset I can take on the E then..... +5/-5?

Benz-O-Rama

Depends on the wheel, But I know people have run SL/CLS wheels on the W211. I think they just stick out a few MMs or something like that.

Search in here for SL wheels or CLS wheels, as they share the same offsets. You'll probably find pictures of them on people's W211s.
