I just bought a CPO 2012 E63 and am loving it, except for the wheels....

All of my wheels do not have the AMG engraving on the lip of the wheels, which makes them appear to be replicas.

Here is the car, all the wheels do not have the AMG logo on the wheels


Close up




What I see online on cars of the same year



Replicas for sale (notice no AMG on the wheel, its blank like these)

I found some numbers stamped in the wheels near the hub, which appear to be OE part numbers, just really confused......







So are these OEM wheels or replicas???
Any help would be appreciated.

 

Total reps is my best guess

Wouldn't have any other reason to explain no amg engraving

 

my cast versions say made in germany by bbs

does yours have a manufacturer

 

I hate to tell you, but these are replicas. You can always bring it into another Mercedes and ask sales/parts department to verify.

I don't want to scare you, but to me. This bring out a new can of warms. Why would the seller/dealer sell replica AMG wheels on a E63. Was the wheels/tires damage due to an accident. I hope I'm wrong, but I think it's worth to do some digging.

Good luck.

 

dealer has no idea, they dont check....car comes in, car goes out

 

but those carbon fiber brakes are HOT

 

FML the colour of your car is making me happy in ways that I shouldn't be.....

But yeah, sadly those are not genuine.

 

Did I see a wheel lock bolt on the upclose photo? So the previous owner put wheels locks on reps?! And the dealer CPO the reps...that goes to show you how good the CPO program is at certain dealers.

 

OP, trade you real AMG wheels for your ceramic brakes.

or nah?

 

I'd have a polite but firm convo w the sales manager or the GM, a CPO shouldn't have fake wheels, I think it is a reasonable assumption that a CPO vehicle has authentic parts

If they won't get you into real wheels (doubtful), get some $$$ back and buy them yourself

How about black https://mbworld.org/forums/w212-amg/...k-rims-fs.html

 

if they are genuine, they should be the forged option so they should be lighter than the other option wheel

still, did u find out if there is a manufactuer name on back, BBS? Ronal?

 

They probably hoped you wouldn't see past the ceramic brakes.
