The MB52 rims discussed in this thread have a 45mm offset. I wonder if this small difference will create any problems.

I have not found any aftermarket wheel which has the correct offset of 47.50. I don't see It as an issue, confirmed with my tire guy.

If I am not wrong believe tire rack is using offset 45 as well. Will call them tomorrow and reconfirm.

Has anyone been able to find a replica 17" 5-spoke similar to the...

MB part A204 401 3602
5-spoke wheel
Wheel: 7.5 J x 17 ET 47.5

Tire: 235/60 R17

Winter Tire Packages: Canadian Prices-a204-401-3602.jpg



The MB52 from Replica Wheels is pretty close to the
MB part A204 401 5502
5-spoke wheel
Wheel: 7.5 J x 17 ET 47.5
Tire: 235/60 R17


As noted the MB52 Replica Wheel offset is 45 and the MB Canada spec is 47.5

Honestly I really tired, but have not found this anywhere. The best offset I have found is 45, which we have ordered.

Edit: Another member has confirmed. So we will have 4 orders.

Good artcile in today's Toronto Star on Winter tires. The Blizzak's are rated as one of the best.

Read this link first, then the 10 best winter tired are listed in this link.

I am interest in getting a set of winter tires/rim eventually as I am looking to pickup a GLK witihin 2 months. Like someone said on this thread.. if we do a group buy, would it be cheaper? How does it turn out/look like after putting on the 18" on the GLK? I've always seen GLK with the 20" but not 18".. not sure if it will look awkward.

Zelko,

thanks bro... I appreciate it the link. Interesting that I didn't see the Pirelli's there eh? Did you get a chance see the set you had mentioned?

RocketM, we all went with 17's as pez said MB recommends 17 and 19 only. They don't make a wheel for 18 and thus they don't have a recommended size. The tires who can put on the 235/55 instead of the 235/60 which is 17's. In regards the height won't change since you will have a smaller rim but more tire for the winter weather.

Yeah I did, was there on Saturday to check out the rim. Looks really sweet. I'm not going to put the winters on until the end of October, so I've got some time yet. Below is a picture of the rim.

It really sucks that your guy only has one set of those eh.. Congrats though...


Edit:

Those look like E Class wheels, which on a site: state offset is 37? Thats a low offset bro, just giving heads up.

K, went down there today to see the other rim. I took some pics through the iPhone not the amazing 10 megs, but waiting for better pics from him.

For those of you who have ordered and want to switch to the new Rim you can, just give me a call or PM. The new RIM package is the same as the other folks.

Also saw the AMG replica in the MB52, but was a complete no no, since it says AMC. Can't picture anyone really buying that...

I believe for most members you have ordered your rims & tires are in. Sam should have given you a call, and if he hasn't please PM me. I am planning on going tomorrow afternoon for installation and ensure everything will be okay. Will take some pics with them on the car, but will have the 20's back on till end of October.

I decided to go with a black wheel, don't really feel like dealing with the brake dust and other dirt on the wheels during the winter months. Cost was $880cdn for the set.

Desmo... I had the same idea when I was looking at wheels.
I'm putting these on.... What is your offset on your wheels? at they 17 or 18?

These at 18" with 35 offset.. these were $600

Fish did you get them installed, since the GLK has an high offset, I don't know how they will fit. Secondly I know your guy was saying 600 + GST, I can get the same rims 550 everything in.

Let me know if you haven't bought yours.
