LUKE: why not more M-Class Options?

Hey Luke.

I've purchased all my wheels from tirerack and have been very satisfied. However, why don't you have more options for the mercedes M-Class suvs. You have eight or so wheels for an 04ML350. I'm looking for rims with more "Lip" and have found many on the net, but i'm only confident buying from Tirerack. Why not more options?

depends on the weather
the main reason is:

OE WHEEL HAS A 900KILO (2090LBS) LOAD RATING. and a majority of after market wheels do not have the proper load capacity

Your knowledge is impressive indeed.

However, what about all the euro brands? Brabus, Carlsson, AMG, etc. Why don't you have those?
