They are the mirror cut finish. At least if bend one of these $300 each.

Congrats! Don't bend them

You shouldn´t use helium for the rear air suspension

I had the Mandrus 23 on my 2005 S211, nice wheels of good quality.

Great good to hear, sounds like they should hold up ok.

TugboatBill

uh oh.

Vic is stating that were this his car, it would sit lower, particularly in the back.

2012 merc amg

The luxury package sits a little higher than with the sport package plus a little more high than normal as it just came off the lift having the wheels put on.

Took a while, originally I was going with the Chrome Milleniums after three weeks on order they said they would not fit, I dunno if I believe it, I think they under quoted me on price so I decided on going with the "23's" which are a Mirror cut finish. Maybe it was destiny, the chrome could have been more issues and you can't really fix chrome if it got curb rash, these almost look Chrome anyhow.

I like it. If they came in 18” I might give a set a try.

I like 'em! They look like the factory 20 spokes.....makes me want to trade in my 20" for some of these in 19's

Really liking them a lot. I got them re torqued today, took 3 minutes. The car has never ridden so smoothly and handled so well. I think by kicking them out a little bit with the 32 offset vs 43 stock helps the handling and the way the car steers, perhaps some of it too is because they found the rear end alignment on the right wheel was out a little bit, probably the reason being shipping, they guy was telling me when they chain down the cars coming over on the boat it sometimes throws the alignment out and that they don't always re-check it at the dealer before delivery as they are suppose too. Believe it or not the center caps are cheap plastic chinese ones I got off amazon for 15 bucks, I may put on the black stock ones eventually. The wheels came with light bluish center caps with a M on them standing for Mandrus. These seem like a real quality wheel though and I really don't expect they will bend. I'm sorry I never got something like these on my 2012 AMG wagon with all the wheel problems I had on that car with the stock rims. Must have had those ones repaired 4 or 5 times.

Well .. no one else is saying it so I’ll say it. Those wheels are ugly. I wouldn’t put them on my lawnmower. I hate when people ruin their cars with ugly wheels.

Thats because most people know forum etiquette if you dont have anything nice to say....Dont say nothing at all.

That is beyond harsh, and to my eyes, incorrect. Candidly, I think the wheels look terrific. No, it's the MB center call that looks off. The color looks too bright and doesn't mesh with the wheels right. I think that might be what is throwing some folks off. Could you try a different color? Maybe the AMG raised center cap?

2012 merc amg

I like the wheels and center caps thats all that matters to me. I've had a lot of comments about people liking the wheels already and I never got comments on the stock wheels. The big thing is though at least if I hit a big pothole now that is unavoidable and damage the wheel it's 300 bucks vs 1500 bucks or so. Plus I've got a really smooth ride now. I could put back on the stock black center caps but I held them up to these wheels and it just did not look right.

I have these on my lawnmower.

rustybear3

According to your profile, you don't even have a Mercedes but obviously drive a lawnmower. Let see your wheels hot shot!

Really liking the wheels. I like it too with the 10 lower offset figure 34 vs 44. It makes the tires look wider and increases the wheelbase benefiting handling. Not enough to cause scrub though. I think the guy who made that insulting comment is just jealous. He probably drives a Yugo lol.

threeMBs

Does not increase wheelbase. Lower offset wides both front and rear tracks benefiting handling.

2012 merc amg

That’s actually what I meant. Widens the track. It’s a good extra 3/4 inch wider on either side. The brake calipers are not as scary close to the rims now.

Cleaning them must be a nightmare. I usually get frustrated cleaning 5,6,7 spoke wheels. I don't think I'd ever clean those if I owned them
