19" AMG wheels HELP

I am looking for some wheels and came across these two sellers on EBAY does it seem to be legit or is it a scam, the price just seems to low for comfort, I'm under the impression they are not replicas but real AMG wheels...so what do you guys say

"THESE WHEELS ARE 19x8.5, BRAND NEW ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT REPRODUCTIONS"

The other says "Style wheels", ie both are reproductions

I agree with auraraptor, these are "reproductions"..ie, replicas of the original... looks OK in the pictures... don't know how their actual quality is...

tire rack has some good reproductions of that style if that is what you are looking for... about the same price too, the ASA wheels.

WOW...I just looked over those obvious words haha man do I feel dumb....and going back to seattle's question about me looking to get replicas, the answer is no. Im looking at getting 19" wheels maybe 20" wheels if the look is right. I'm looking at the 19's from AMG both the all silver and the two tone (65 wheels). If I end up finding some other than AMG wheels which will probably be the case if im spending that much money, I'm looking for wheels with NICE chrome lips, any specific suggestions would be greatly appreciated

the 19" REAL AMG wheels you are looking for are very expensive... ($5000+) the replicas are less than 1/6th the price and look the same.. check tirerack.com.. they sell both..

The ones from lakeshore look like the same as mine ..if they are then they are very good reps.. In fact they are lighter and stronger than AMG and ASA because they are pressure cast... and not poured cast.. My buddy sells them also.. I have a set on my car but I painted the centers on mine (dark titanium grey metallic). You will love-em

pm me for info to get the ones I have

we can probably offer the real deal multipiece 19 inch AMG rims (styling IV) for a little less than that...silver or gunmetal...
