Eurotech wheels?!

Has anyone done any business with Eurotech wheels? Not the sponsor here Eurotech motorsports, Eurotech wheels out of San Diego?

They've got some R-class wheels that are interesting, but they only seem to have a e-bay presence, which makes me kind of wary.

Don't know anybody who has bought from them. However, I would admit that they do look sharp. You can buy directly from them at www.usarim.com These things are hard to buy off line as you can get a real good idea what you are getting, eg., the finer details. Its like trying to buy a print or painting from a dealer w/o seeing it in person. I know the feeling, it is a bit nervous.

By the way, thanks R. Reys for your comments in regards to neg. a deal on a 08 CPO. Will keep you all posted when I finally pull the trigger.

I have been looking at his wheels and am seriously considering getting from him as his wheels do look nice. I am still also not sure if I want to go with 20's or stay with 18's. I am a little worried that my wife might complain about the ride with the 20's. I care more about the ride then the look of the bigger wheel if it is going to make a big difference. any thoughts?

20 should not make a huge different on ride comfort. 22" may be a different story since the tires will be low profile.

Thank you....I went with a set of 20's from a local wheel shop. It made only a very slight difference in the feel over bumps. Handling seems a little tighter. It looks much sharper now and it has a more agressive look.

2001 CLK320
Great Experience with EuroTech Wheels

I had been shopping around for about a year for some 19s to throw on my CLK320 and came across Eurotech on the forums. There were some mixed reviews so I did my homework and called these guys up before ordering. Their policy is pretty simple, if the wheels don't fit they'll pick them up as long as they're not used. The first set I ordered, I wanted a low offset for a really aggressive look and went against the dude on the phone's advice. Long story short, the wheels didn't work and I should have listened. They picked them and replaced them with the right offset (et35) and the wheels fit perfectly. I've been on the rims for two years now and besides some curb rash, they run great. Feel free to contact me for photos, etc. hope this helps

They are nice wheels for the price

I bought a set and used them for the summer until I could afford 20 inch rims and tires. They are great quality except for centercaps. I broke 3 trying to snap them in. I just used the stock ones off my original wheels/ they fit much better. They are a nice hub centric rim so they run true. The offset was a little low for an R the tires were right to the edge of the fender. They called it an aggressive fit and guaranteed they would fit without rubbing. The finish is as good as factory rims. I'm selling the set on ebay for $290 with mounting kit if anyones interested. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...STRK:MESELX:IT

I wouldn't go with them. I purchased a set from them and they needed to be repaired and then I just got sick of them and got some amgs. Just spend the extra cash for quality.

Unhappy Beware of Eurotech

Bought a set of 20s for my AMG in October and headache ever sense. Had them on x1 week. Rear wheel while driving 30 mph with children in the car came completely apart. The lip seperated from the rest of the wheel band new tire ruined. Called husband changed to spare took car home and took off call the wheels to check them out. Front wheel had a 4" crack accross. Put stock wheels back on and called the guys the next morning the guy stated now way it was their fault. Stated to send wheel to them and they will send to lab to see if it was a defective wheel. Wheel was received by them, we called them and the guy stated, I am not going to send it anywhere it would cost a lot to have it sent to the lab as soon as we received it we destroyed it." Quetioned why and the guy replied, "we destroy all evidence." Husband argued with him told him it is our wheel and he needs to send it back and the guy told him to go f#@k him self!

HOW PROFESSIONAL IS THAT!

It is now February and countless emails and calls. No wheel and tell us we cant order anymore. Read a blog on line that another customer had a problem and he had to cancel the sale with creditcard. Right now in the precess of disputing the charge with the credit card. Hopes to get money back some how.

Bunch of CROOKS and very unprofessional!

Do not buy!

eurotech

I got some 19" machined Mono Vl reps on my E500 a couple of years ago from eurotech wheels. I wish the lip was a little deeper, car looks good but I would like to upgrade to 20s with a huge dish in the rear.

eurotech (usa rim) are the worst rims I could've bought for my mercedes benz.The only reason why i bought new rims was because my old rims were scratch so i decide to buy new different rims. First the didnt fit at all and after trying to explain that to those guys they started to offend me and cussing at me telling me i can't return them becuase i wouldn't get full credit for them, making me buy a 100$ spacer and after the shop that installed them made them fit.The car vibrates all the time check the balancing already like four times and change the tires and the car still vibrates. My car had never vibrate at all before, but after i put this rims i can feel the vibration on my steering wheel all the time. I wish i would never had bought this wheels and i hope no one else do either because they are a complete dishonest and rude bussiness.
