AMG 5-Spoke 2 Piece
Hi,
I currently have the AMG Aero II Monoblock 1-piece and am considering the AMG 5-spoke 203 2-piece for a 2002 430 4Matic. Does anybody know if these wheels are more prone to damage than the Monoblocks? I want something that looks nice, but I don't want to worry about them too much. I also currently have the staggered setup with 18x8 and 18x9, and the 203's are 18x7.5" and 18x8.5". It sounds like they're only 1/2" thinner, but will they look too skinny?
Thank you!

That .5 inch should be no problem. But you may not be able to mount 245 front or 275 rear. You have to use 235 front and 265 rear.

That wheel is basically a C-Class or CLK version. I speculate there will be a E211/W210 E55 version of the same wheel coming.
