Question About Genuine AMG Wheels
Does anyone know if there is a problem with imitation, counterfeit, AMG Style IV twin-spoke E55 (W211) wheels in the USA market at this time?
I purchased four wheels that have a very indistinct AMG logo on each compared with that I have seen in photos of these wheels, including wheels on a recently purchased new E55 (W211).
The wheels came in AMG boxes with AMG labels imprinted with what appear to be the correct M-B and AMG part numbers.
Any input from reliable/knowledgable source will be greatly appreciated.
Any recommendations of sources for Genuine AMG Style IV Double Spoke Wheels in 18 x 8.0 and 18 x 9.0 size for E500 (W211) that has them in stock and at "reasonable" prices will be greatly appreciated?

AMG Wheel Questions Answered
Thanks to Luke at The Tire Rack and Ross at Status Imports for their kind and timely assisyance in answering my questions regarding teh authenticity of AMG wheels I recently purchased. My original post indicates what prompted my questions. Apparently some AMG wheels come through with less disticnt logo than others - perhaps due to painting process.
I guess M-B demands only the best for fitment to their new cars. Guys like me buy the less than perfect ones on the aftermarket.
Above speed of zero, no one will know except me anyway.
Thanks again to Luke and Ross.
The wheels were purchased from Jon at Jewel Tire Co., Gardena, CA. Website is www.tiredlr.com
