So I'm looking for some AMG or AMG knockoff wheels for my fathers sl550. They don't have to be super lightweight or anything. Just want a quality wheel that isn't going to fall apart after a year. I see there are some vendors in the classifieds selling some new replicas for $700 for the set. That sounds low to me. Are these complete crap? Or is it just that they aren't lightweight?

Next question, I think for the SL550 the offset is 35. On the AMG's I think its like 30 up front and 32 in back right? Will this be fine on a standard 550? If I went 30 all around would I have issues in the rear?

Last question, can anyone point me in the direction of a good source to get something like this without paying an arm and a leg?

Ugh... $700 for the set? I think you'll probably get 17" AMG double spoke replicas for that price. They will look HORRIBLE on an SL.

I have one 19x95 et31 AMG two piece twin spoke wheel (proper size for sl rear) that I had refurbished after I ran over some debris in the road. I thought it was toast so I just bought a new one to the tune of $850.

Looks like this:

It turns out it was repaired and functions as a proper wheel.

I'll sell it for $400. That should get you started.

You can get the other three at http://www.originalwheels.com/merced...ss2007rims.php part #65463 and #65464 for $450 each for refurbished wheels.

Good Luck.
