"AMG" wheels? They look like replicas to me. The AMG logo looks like a sticker applied slightly crooked. I wouldn't buy replicas unless I knew somebody who had had a set for some time and could attest to the quality.

E Bay is NOT a credable source of Mercedes parts.

I have to back-pedal a little here. What looks like a mis-aligned sticker could actually be plastic protection for the AMG logo on real AMG wheels. I would call the seller and ask -- they are a platinum power seller so presumably they have some credibility.

In answer to your question about where you can get good ML wheels for cheap or reasonable price: If you find anywhere, let us know! My ML came with 21-inch AMG wheels; I also have a set of OZ Canyon 20-inch wheels for winter use. They were around $4,500 complete with Pirelli Scorpion tires. Tire Rack.

hmmm, I wouldn't buy replica wheels, too many horror stories about balancing issues and excess weight

First pic is a generic one of the ML with the 21-inch AMG wheels that came OEM on mine. The second pic is my actual ML with the 20-inch OZ wheels and winter tires.
