Anyone know about these rims?




These appear in a lot of promotional material, but they don’t seem to be in the US. Anyone know if we can find these here?

Good Lordy LB... With the exception that these rims are 7-spoke design, they look identical to the 5-spoke design you already have (below). Aren't your present rims AMG official?

Satisfy yourself, of course, but no one (other than you) will notice

I think they look quite different.. also isn't the point of it so that I would notice? Yes the present wheels are AMG official. I think we agreed on another post about modifications, but I don't agree with the idea that modifications should be about making others notice. Most people don't give this car a second look (and those that do only do it because of the color), and that's how I like it. No need for attention here. The MX-5 has a different, upgraded grille, aftermarket LED marker lights all around, added rear diffuser, upgraded steering wheel, different pedals, added lip spoiler - all for personal taste.

The Miata actually gets way more attention than I would like. I have been asked "how fast is that Ferrari", "Do you like your F-type?", and recently I had a man in an Autozone parking lot yell to me "I have a Porsche just like that at home"

True story...

On several occasions in 1977-78, I pull into the gas station. While refueling I've had at least a dozen people ask
Them..."What car is that?"
Me..."Honda."
They say, "that's too big to be a CIVIC."
To which I reply, "No, it's a 1977 Accord."
Puzzled, they offer, "A WHAT?"
"ACCORD, I respond, A-C-C-O-R-D"
They say, "Accord...What an odd name for a car."
I answer, "I imagine you'll see more of them."

How times have changed... This was the only time(s) that others notice cars I drive, and I've owned a few stylish ones.

Not throwing rocks at your research, LB. Except my C320 has 7-spoke wheels, when these forums described them as "out of style." compared with "5-spokes."

I did say in my first, "satisfy yourself..." So go for it.

Hopefully someone else can help...

Thanks - does not look like there is a good way to access these in the US.

Not really, and seems they out of stock in most sites here in Europe. Here you got for 3312 $ with shipping to US but that's gloss black.

Hope you figure it out

Yeah the gloss black ones were here on some W204s, but those aren't as attractive.

I didn't know from looks that these were 19s and that's a little bit larger than I want anyway. But hey thanks for the part numbers!
