Are these real AMG wheels?
Found a guy claiming that these are real AMG wheels. I've never seen any AMG models wearing anything like this before so I think it's B.S.
THE REAR WHEELS ARE 19 X 9.5 WITH WIDE 275/30/19 TIRES AND A 20 MM OFFEST
THE FRONTS ARE 19 X 8.5 WITH 245/35/19 AND A 15 MM OFFSET
Anyone disagree with me?

MBWorld Fanatic!
Every (recent) AMG wheel I've seen is stamped /////AMG. Plus, it would have a part number that could be verified as authentic (if OE).
My guess would be not AMG.

I don't think they're AMG's, although I like the style. You should try to find out what brand they are. They may be comparable or even better quality than the AMG's. Most of the "tuner" wheels (i.e. AMG, Lorinser, Brabus, Lowenhart, etc.) aren't anything great anyway..they're just overpriced cast aluminum that are heavy and bend easily. (I speak from personal experience here...my Lorinser LM5's are very heavy and two of them have already bent with less than 8k miles of careful driving on them. They will be on Ebay as soon as my new forged wheels are ready).
If these are forged two piece, you should consider them if you like the style and they're in good condition.
