AMG monoblock 17" rim bent

Just found out that my rim is bent and a small hair line crack formed. ~$140 to repair was the over the phone quote. Hope it wont cost more. Taking it in on Monday.

*update*

$200 out the door for repair. Would it not be just better to buy a new one or just upgrade to 18's?

i beleive that rim is 400-500 from mbz.

try truwheel. they take rims that are shipped to them. i have monoblocks and they only charged 120 each to redo them. http://www.truwheel.com/


btw not all rims are alike. i have been trying to update mine to the new amg 2 piece rims but mbz makes 2 kinds of hubs. 1 with large lugs (s, cl, sl) and 1 with smaller diameter lugs (e, clk, slk, c)

It is the 17 x 8.5. If someone does have it I'll buy.

Give Al a call at 973 851 4230, i think he has the 8.5 monoblock. Tell him anthony sent you, he should give you a great price probably far under 200.
