OEM rim replacement-Cracked rim
One of my tires was gradually losing air pressure. Tire shop showed me where my rim was cracked in 3 separate places. Local MB dealer quoted me $1680 for a new wheel. Has anyone had any experience purchasing a replacement OEM rim from a third party vendor? I saw some on ebay and other places but was hoping someone has had some positive experiences with a particular company etc. My car is the 2015 S class with the stock 20 inch 14 spoke rims. Ive attached a few photos. Any and all responses will be appreciated

Shop OE part #, these should be correct you can match to part # stamped on inside of wheel or post VIN for confirmation inclusive of finish.

@DaveW68 I did take it to the local wheel repair shop that the Mercedes tech recommended. But, it is cracked in 3 separate places. so they deemed it unrepairable due to the safety precautions.

Another member of this forum posted a link to an overseas supplier with good pricing on what appear to be authentic AMG replacement wheels like yours. I have not used them myself, but have been tempted.
