2003 S55 AMG
Smile new to the board: wheel question

Hey Guys! I haven't been on this forum for atleast 5 years but I'm finally back. What do you guys recommend for 18" wheels for my 2003 S55? I need to stick with 18s since I drive daily in NYC and my stock wheels get pretty beaten up (inside lips repaired a few times, replaced my tires plenty of times for bubbles, bent wheels). My current situation is my two rear tires needs to be replaced and three out of the four wheels are bent so I'm getting a lot of vibration. So I want to start fresh and get four new wheels&tires. Any recommendations? I like the look of the two piece //AMG wheels with the gray color insides, do they make those in replica? Are replica wheels even worth looking at?

Here's a pic of my car:

Hi,

For W220 S55, if you want to get the 18", your best bet is looking for some used one in good condition. because most of aftermarket wheels go for 19" or bigger. check out the tirerack.com. they have the replicate two piece AMG style rim in 19" or 20". a set of 19" rim and tires will cost you around $1600. $2000 for 20"s.
