Just my 2 cents here..... i got a set of the c63 reps in silver in 19" on my 211 and i bought them because i drive in NYC pothole central... If i bend one i just buy a new one for 150 bucks.
I have had them on all last summer and when i m&b them the first time i was amazed they all balance perfectly and with little wieght. When i removed them for the winter i cleaned the inside and rebalanced them i was so suprised not one bend , not even alittle.
I drive normal i avoid as many potholes as poss. but i have hit a few.
In my opinion its not being cheap to buy reps.... i have a set of dpe 20" and hre20" at home when i just want to cruise around or hiy a show. its being smart with your money.

Good point.
I just wonder how they will hold up after a few years in terms of fading in color or what. I could be convinced to go with something like this.

Hey guys,
Sorry it took so long to respond to some of the recent posts. It seems there has been a issue of quality regarding replica wheels. We can assure everyone that our wheels will exceed expectations in terms of quality. Please visit our website and go to the 'testimonials' section. Also, as another member mentioned we offer a 2 year warranty and guaranteed fitment. Our wheels are made in an OEM factory and pass several inspections before they are shipped to our customers. The manufacturing process (low pressure casting) used to make our wheels makes them lighter than OEM wheels and stronger as well.
As for the 805 and 801 fitting the 2003 SL55, the 18" wheels will work perfectly according to our data. We have the 805 non staggered and the 801 non staggered and staggered. Please email us if interested.
Thanks,

We do have the 805 staggered but in 19"s for now.
qdsdirect, unfortunately we only have the 818 SL65s in 18x8.5, we are out of the rears.
Wish I could give you a better answer

I'd like to see pics of the staggard 19" 805's too. Can you also list the offset.
Do you know if they'll bolt right up to my 03 SL55 without any modifications? I tried looking on your website, but some of the fitment information is cutoff/not complete.

Auraraptor, we currently have the 811 and 817 in 17" and they are of comparable weight as the OEMs as they are made using the same manufacturing process, low pressure casting
Boris0126 here are the pictures of the Renntech 805 19" stag
Of the 817 SL63:
The 811s we don't have them side by side but here are a couple of close up shots:
alwaysinboost: Your R129 has an offset in the mid 20s, it will be very hard to find aftermarket replica wheels in that offset (we haven't seen any). Many of our R129 customers have used spacers to get the wheels to clear the brakes without any issues. The post 2004 SL R230 offset works with these wheels and they fit without any modifications or issues.
Thanks,

Hi Boris0126
All our 19s are under $700 and we are not planning on raising our prices anytime soon. They have been unchanged already for 2 years
Cheers,
Vassili
