Cracked 19" wheel

Hi all, I'm new to the forums.

I have a 2022 CLA 35 AMG that I bought certified about 4 months ago.

Unfortunately, one of the OEM 19" wheels has cracked, so I am replacing all 4 with aftermarket 18" wheels since the dealer wants $1300 for a replacement.

Is there any market for the remaining three 19" wheels? Or are they worthless? If the price is right, I would purchase a replacement and have a complete alternate set for summer tires, and use the 18" the rest of the year.


(I also posted this in the CLA 35 forum, so apologies for the duplication)

Why isn’t it covered under warranty?

Not sure if this is a joke, but I will answer it anyway.

MB will deny this is a warranty issue. It's no more a warranty issue than a windshield being cracked by a rock on the highway. The wheel hit a pothole.

I ended up buying a replacement OEM wheel after two failed attempts at getting a set of aftermarket wheels that would not fit over the brake calipers (tire shop mistakes). I needed the car back.
