I go through rims like chewing gum here in the DMV
I like these rims and they seem nearly identical to a set I got from Sonic Tuning that he no longer sells, so I would have spares
Seller say as they may need spacers for the brakes.
ANYONE RUNNING THESE RIMS FROM THIS EBAY SELLER?
Thanks guys!

Check out powerwheelspro.com, I have a set just like yours for the dmv area, and the wheels have treated me well. I would recommend spacing the wheels to equal a 30mm offset, gives my e55 perfect flush fit.

Thanks for the heads up!
I wasn't aware he had these in 19, used to be only 18 & 20.
You're running the 19"s and using 5mm spacers?
Which spacers?

Thanks man!
They sent me et45 wheels by mistake, so I convinced then to send me 15mm spacers to bring front and rear to et30. Front is 19x8.5 rear is 9.5, and wheels sit flush. And they have the amg logos.
Running these exact wheels ... different ebay seller, but I think they are exact match. I found them to have a lot more blue than I would like, but otherwise a good wheel. Here's the thread if you want pictures:
I recently bought these exact wheels from this seller, except wanted all 4 in 19x9.5et35 but no price difference. They are indeed much more blue / teal than he pics in the listing.
Comes with chrome center caps which I asked for silver ones at no addl charge. The accompanying 'AMG decals' are also noticeably shorter than the slots on the rims.
Last these use 28 or 27mm shank conical style lugs, cannot reuse stock MB radius seat lugs like my other aftermarket wheels, which listing does not state.

Are you running 19x9.5 all around? If so, what size tires?
Yes, 9.5 w/ 275/30 RE-11s square setup, no rubbing on a stock car.
Depending on tire model you MAY be able to squeeze 285s up front with a minimum 5mm spacer (to clear inside suspension components) but tires whose section widths run wide like the RE71 may simply not fit. 285s on rear will fit w/o issue w/o spacers. I chose the preferred size for 9.5 thus 275.

Looks like I need to remove a wheel and check the lug fitment. I had the local MB dealer install the wheels/tires and they didn't say anything. I'm sure I have the exact same wheels, just different seller. Mine also came with chrome center caps and AMG decals that are shorter than the slots. I had new silver center caps in my old wheels so I transferred them.

Yep, we have the same wheels:
My shop also didn't notice until an oem lug fell off a week later. Inspecting closer it's obvious the radius seat was contacting only the top rim of the bolt hole (paint on rest of the hole seat untouched)
Emailed the seller who confirmed conical bolts are needed. With conicals, finally the paint in the bolt hole stripped evenly indicating proper seating.

I have the same wheels also. They are really good quality for the price. Don't depend on the amg sticker staying on. It's actually a bit corny, because it's obvious there not real having a stamped logo. Def. good buy though, no spacers needed.

Got some conical lug bolts coming... 14x1.5 28mm shank ... figure the extra 3mm won't be a problem. If anyone finds this wheel with the correct OEM color please post it up! Would be great if Sonic Tuning brought back the ST181 as the color seems to be much closer to OEM.

I wiped the decal slots with rubbing alcohol, centered them up and stuck them on. They look fine, but as soon as I lose one I'll probably remove the others. I've been through the car wash and they stayed on, so maybe they will last a while. I do like the look of the decals on 951Turbo above... but I have to agree they are a bit cheezy on my wheels since they don't match up with the slot. I'll post a pic later.
