SLK350 AMG Rims

Does anyone on the board have an idea to what the AMG Rims for the 05' SLK350 cost when purchased seperately from the car. Also, will it affect the ESP at all if switched from the stock OEM 17's. Thanks in advance!

Are you referring to the new Style III that comes with the AMG package? If you purchase them from the dealer, around USD4,500. If you purchase them from me, half the price. It will have nothing to do with the ESP.

At first I was referring to the 5 spoke rims that come with the AMG package, but if possible I would like to know the going price for the actual AMG rims that come on the SLK55 as well. Thanks.

Just FYI, These are my winter wheels - very agressive looking and they look very similar to the SLK55 wheels.

By the way, they are Sport Edition Fox 3 wheels available from Tirerack.com for less than $130 per wheel.
Cheers!

Thanks for the info. Silver Lana. Those do look very similar to the wheels that come on the SLK55. I'm kind of a fickler when it comes to the maker, so I would really prefer OEM wheels. Those wheels do look good on your car though!

I find the SLK on Blizzak LM-22s to be better handling than my C320 on Allseasons.
No twitchy behaviour with about an inch of snow and slush on the ground - I honestly was not expecting the car to be this composed. I tried it with several inches of snow on the ground and was able to drive without much spinning - just take it easy on the throttle and you shouold be in good shape.
