Well, we have the S55 (808), the CL63 (809), the SL6 (both designs 817, 817), the E class AMG package (811), the CLK55 (810). Then we have a couple of Brabus wheels, the 801 and 807. We are now working on getting them in more sizes.

Seems like the general consensus here is, there are more customers looking for rims in the 19" size and staggered. Whatever the model or style is, the
19" rimsize diameter is most preferred give or take a couple of 18s and 20s in between.
I could not wait for your orders to come in, ended up taking my business elswhere.
just my two cents worth.
GL, more power to your shop.

Hi there,
Thanks for the kind wishes. We understand that most people want the 19s, and we also know that not having them available is costing us sales. The disadvantage with working directly with the factory is the long lead time and the fight to get them in their busy production schedule.
Thanks for considering us though, hopefully next time you are ready to change wheels we will be better prepared to meet the demand.
Regards,
Vassili

I see you work with a tire wholesaler. Could you give me quotes on tires out the door in the following sizes. I was looking into Kumho Ecsta SPT tires but let me know if you can help me out. Thanks.

many of the pics in your original post no longer work.
I'm looking for a set of rims for my SL55 AMG. I like the SL65 AMG sytle rims with the split spoke design except I'm looking for something that is all one color. Please let me know what you have available.

Actually we are out of the 810 staggered at this point in time. We have the 801 Brabus monoblock and 817 SL63 style wheels staggered in stock at this point in time.
Regarding fitting 8.5" wide wheel in the front you might hit your control arm in which case you might need a thin spacer. Check with your dealer or with others here on the forum. We have specifically had customers that gave us this feedback.
Let me know,

I have a story for you, when I was working in automotive quality for Lear, we used to build engine wire harnessses for the Durango which Lear sold to Chrysler for $50. Those same harnesses were available from the Chrysler dealer for $900.
There is an incredible markup between the prices the OEM pays for the parts and the prices they make those parts available to the public.
These wheels are made using the same manufacturing process, low pressure casting. They are 100% leak and balance tested as well as 100% x-ray tested to ensure they are free from micro cracks. They also come with a 2 year finish warranty that is not even available from Mercedes.
We work directly with the factory and are able to pass the savings on to our customers.
Hope that helps

I would love to purchase these and save the money from oem but have heard that some of the replicas are very heavy but dont know what the oem's weight. Also have been told that some cant even balance properly.
I just dont know much about these rims as you are one of about 10 places that make these as I have no idea how to figure out which ones would be worth buying.
