HELP with Rims Please.

Hello

This is my car bellow. I want to replace my rear wheels with the same type of rim but with a lip, as big as possible. I believe I have AMG monoblock II 17". Can someone help me find these, I don’t mind if they are replica. As long as they look exactly like mine but with a lip.

Thank You.

Yes, that is the AMG Monoblock II.

It will be hard to find that rim with a larger lip or a true deep dish wheel. Larger lips require much wider rim widths. You prolly have a 17X7.5 all around. AMG does make a 17X8.5 for the rear but no fitment is listed for your W124 chassis on www.tirerack.com .

I have those rims on the rear in a 18X9.0 and the lip is small - it is not a deep dish.

Real AMG Monoblocks II for the W210 E-Class are

17X7.5 et35
17X8.5 et30 rear
18x8.0 et31
18x9.0 et35 rear

the lip on that 18X9.0 may be a little bigger but it is not considered a deep dish. Good Luck.
