AMG E55, Stage 1, Strait Pipe from Primary Cats
I can get exact AMG double spoke Rep.19's.
I get these direct wholesale and they will ship to you. Staggered 19x9.5 > 27 lbs. Offset 35 and 19x8.5 > 25 lbs Offset 32. These are pressure cast which are lighter and stonger and not poured cast like oem AMG and TSW bremma etc. They are also TU approved. These have a slightly bigger lip then the Tsw bremma front and rear. You will not see these exact wheels in any retail shop. 
They are 1100 + 100 for shipping. I have them now on my S Class.. Here is a pic with the rivets drilled out before I painted them.. Them come in hyper silver (pictured) I painted mine dark grey metallic. I will post my new wheel pics tomorrow.

Thanks for the weight on the wheels,now i know the weight i have to beat.
Also i would like to know how to get a set of those wheels.......they look way cool.Tell me also the size tire you are running,if they are rubbing,and do the new wheel and tire combo enhance your car looks and performance.

Notice the JWL and VIA moulded on the wheel in the first pic that is the same as mine. I got mine from AMERICAN TIRE DISTRIBUTORS. They are made by OEM Performance Products.
I'm not trying to undercut you, I just want a deal and I get a better deal if I buy more.. I just bought one set for my CL that I am selling, trust me they are the same wheels. I need another set for my S-class so I can keep the real amg rims.

Sorry, Ricky
Not trying make money just trying to bring a good offer to other members. I was not making money...
Forget it, I'll just pay the extra 85 bucks and buy one set.
See what you get trying to save a buck..
I'll delete my post.

iam looking forward in purchasing the SL 65 rims for my SLK 55 , do you think its a good idea? the car has a lot of torque and doesn't grip that well when stepping on it... and I want more feedback from the steering wheel, do you think 19'' compared to the stock 18'' is a good leap over?

The aftermarket ones look smaller due to the lip, they are made differently than the amg originals. You would need the 20" version for the center splitspoke section to look the same as the amg rims.
