OEMWheels Plus - Advice and Personal Experiences?
Hi All...I have a SL55 AMG and am looking for some new rims. Came across these; they seem reasonable and I like the look. Any experience with this vendor, and does anyone see any caliper clearance issues? I am not a fan of spacers...

This is the problem with the repl wheels, i hear they bend quite easy.

True, but you can get 4 for the cost (or less) of 1 forged wheel. Different strokes, as they say.

What I seem to be finding is that there is little middle pricing ground with wheels. $600 bucks for a set of four, heavy soft wheels that prone to bends/out of rounds, or your spending a mnimum of $2500 for a good set of forged.

U can get some good cast wheels for under 2500 with tires.
