Rim question....

so continued to my quest for a cheaper price for RIM...... I found a set on kijiji (Canadian equivalent to craigslist)....


$500 for the whole set of 21" AMGs.....


the part number that dealer gave me was 166-401-25-02. I found a set of 164-401-55-02 & 164-401-53-02


is there a difference in all these ? or these are just different numbers for ML/GL series.i understand 164 is for older series....


the dealership is saying it wouldn't fit my car....


ideas ?

Well ... as I pointed out to you in my reply to your original post - in Canada - where the GL350's have 21" as a option - a replacement wheel needs to be same as original - especially whats termed "ET" or offset.

Yes - you need correct replacement part # for your replacement wheel.
