what wheel is this?

I am purchasing this wheel for my 212 in 19's but cant identify the wheel to shop online. MB in Cali wants 2800.00 w/o tires no tax (out of state) Is this a good deal (if you know what wheel this is)?. What tires do you recc as well? Thanks

If it's a non-forged 1 piece rim for 700, I would say no. Reason is you need a stronger rim going to a 19" and when you bend a 1 piece, more than likely you will have to trash the entire rim. 3 piece rims you can just replace whatever you damage, which is usually the outer lip for around 200 dollars. Something to think about. It may cost more up front but with all the problems with bent rims we see I think it may be a wiser choice. There's some nice monoblock & 3 piece forged units in that price range as well. Good luck.

it looks more like AMG replica wheel since it doesn't have AMG tag on the wheel.

Avant Garde M328 model.

as I understand, they discontinued the model but the price was $999

it sure does look like M328. Thanks for your help. My dealer said this is the same wheel they put on SLS but with AMG. He put on Conti DWS for a grand more. Hope it looks good cant wait to get them in. I ordered from CA to MO so no sales tax. That helped
