I cracked a wheel on a pothole and need to replace a single right rear wheel on my E55. IF anyone knows where I might find one or has one they are willing to sell please let me know via a post or pm and I will get back to you.

FYI they are the factory twin spoke 18" wheels.

thanks in advance

I would try there for new if you don't have luck on the secondary market.

Those folks are more than my local dealer! And by almost $100.

I will have two available with in the next week with less than 1000 miles on them. I have no need for them now as I am getting the Renntech 10 spoke monolight wheels. Let me know and I feel your pain as I had a similiar incident last year, driving over a piece of slate rock.

Really?

They were over $200 cheaper (per wheel) for me.

Luckily I found one on eBay, suprisingly difficult to find in my area and its the TRISTATE area.

If you would PM me your info I will contact you regarding the wheels.

thanks

Dealer says $800 and Tire Rack says $940 for silver and $1200 for dark grey (looks like the S65 to me).

The 18" E55 ones are only $500 on tirerack. Is that what you are after?

I have an original.. I only have the one. I'm sure it's the rear one. it's 18" with the 265 contis.

azcarguy,

How big was the pothole?

We've had two cracked rears now (one left, one right) on our W211 E55. Left was bent a bit supposedly and cracked, right has now cracked. Both times we found the tires flat, took it in to find the cracked wheels. I'm not sure what's going on with the quality of OEM MBZ wheels but cracking wheels on <minor> potholes (if that, we've never hit a major pothole) is just silly. We've had zero issues with Audi, Porsche, VW OEM wheels, only MBZ.
