Bent wheel
I was replacing the rear tires and the shop said they couldn't balance them because the wheels were bent.
I consider myself luck as this is the first issue I've had with bent rims on my E550 with 100K miles on it.
We have an "Alloy Wheel Repair" place in Milwaukee that I have used before with good results. They were able to repair one, but the other was core bent and couldn't be fixed.
So, now I'm looking for a wheel for my 2012 E550 4Matic with the AMG double 6 spoke wheels. My notes say the wheels are 18x8.5.
I found "Auto Rim Shop" online that has them for $400. Anybody use them or have a different suggestion (other than eBay)?
TIA,
Gary

I have been using 5 spoke AMG "18 wheels on my car . Styling wise , I like them more than yours but buying 4 wheels just like my wheels may not be the best idea . Since eBay is no option then I would recommend you to make a search on the net

Sorry, my bad ... I have the AMG double 5 spoke wheels (not the double 6 spoke wheels)
I've done a general net search, but I'm interested in hearing recommendations.
