That's the price of a decent set of forged wheels. The GL550 rims are cast correct? Do you know what they weigh?

What's the difference between cast and forged? I smell a learning opportunity.

The forged is much lighter and equally as strong or stronger than the thicker and heavier cast wheels. Not to mention, cast wheels are cheaper to produce and cost between $500-$1,200 less per wheel than the same size forged wheel.

...you do have a point...maybe by "aftermarket junk" he meant the wheels weren't replicas/fakes?

That's strong for a set of cast wheels with no wheel sensors. You can get forged wheels for around the same money. The AMG's do look nice though.

what are you going to do with a set of AMG wheels if you already have a 550?
