Wheel Help

I know this is not the appropriate spot to post but am wondering if any of your guys have a set of AMG Monoblocks off a 210 E55 laying collecting dust that you are wanting to get rid of that are local? I am in San Jose and have cracked another wheel on my C280 (now both rears) and can't find the 211 AMG Sport wheels in 18x8 and 18x9 so the Monoblock is my only other option.

Any and all help is appreciated.



Thanks
Mike

Hey Mike,

On both occasions, do you know if you hit a 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.
