Finally decided I need to get rid of these deteriorating wheels, looking to get a stock set of the split 10-spoke facelift W211 wheels if anyone is selling (the 18x8.5), thanks!

what happened with the 507 black wheels you were lookin at?

They were sold, and they were 19s, I want to stick with 18" wheels

Good idea!!! Not worth the increased chances of bent rims!

Did you ever have those wheels before? I have them on mine and one thing I don't like is how difficult they are to clean because of the narrow gaps. Plus you have 10 to clean. I'd think the 5 spoke AMG wheels would be easier to clean and I think they look nicer. You could probably find a replica set somewhere.

This is the primary reason I am getting new wheels, due to the condition of my current ones being pretty much bent or cracking from small bumps and road imperfections that shouldn't cause such damage. I guess the alloy with these wheels is too soft.

I have had them, I had the chrome version that came with my car and it was definitely hard to clean. However, I am done buying replica wheels for good, although I do love the look of the five spoke but the only REAL set I could find was for $1300 and one of the wheels had been welded and repaired.

Basically, my current wheels are gravity cast pieces of crap that are a low quality AMG replicas. I know not all replicas are that bad, but these are falling apart. Cracks are starting to form on the inside of the barrel and I need to get new wheels within the next week. Of course I've hit the occasional pothole, but in the last 6 months I have been super careful and haven't hit any, and the alloy is still deteriorating. I figure if I can find a set of low-pressure cast stock wheels then I will go that route, and if not, I will get some rotary forged/flow formed wheels for around $1000-$1200 in the stock size.

I love the HRE P101/Verde Axis/VMR 804 style wheel, but I can only find this design in 19. I was considering the TSW Bathurst as well in the gloss graphite color, but not sure how this would look on the W211.

I'm waiting on my AMG wheels so the stock ones will be available soon

Thanks, I forgot to update this, but I purchased a set of TSW wheels for winter and got some winter tires on them. In summer I'll probably be getting some Niche Misanos or a similar style wheel if I can find one in the right fitment. What AMG wheels did you get??
