Chris,
I was on a thread here that list wheels from users that have worked with no spacers etc someone mad e collection of these from other threads for people to see what works on our cars. Members here have installed Mandrus Millenium 9.5 +35 AMG 810 9.5 +35 Mandrus Wilhelm 9.5 +25 and +35 on the rear and they come even with the wheel well no issues. So Mine should work fine and as stated above the user with the same wheels in 20" 9.5" +45 and used them with 12mm spacer and they worked well.

Oledoc2u,
I bought these knowing they were reproductions. They have been used by guys on the MB forum and this forum and with no problems but thanks.

Here is a link to the thread "new rims and tires a list of what works.
https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...hat-works.html

 

Please let me know how these rims work. I am also thinking about putting them on my black SRT6. I am going with 19s in the front 20s in the rear. My SRT6 is lowered with eibach springs. I like these rims cause the silver matches the door handles and windshield trim. The black matches the car. Are you going to get the rims in Matte Black or Glossy Black. I cant find them in Glossy Black. I found them on Ebay.
eBay item number:
271275902554
When you get them please post pics of them. THANKS

 

The guy with the Graphite Xfire in the above picture has the setup you are talking about and they work for him. I will post pics next week. My Xfire is Black as well so I think they will look nice. The Black is kind of between matt and gloss

 

Yes I have seen that. But he has 18's in the fronts. I am wanting to see how they look on black not graphite. Thanks tho

 

Sure thing. I could only find pictures of how they look on Mercedes cars. But I will have them Next Monday
so Tuesday I should have pictures.

 

THANKS. Please let me know where you get these rims. BTW are they Glossy Black or Matte Black.

 

They are in between glossy and matt. Here is the link at USArim.com

19 Inch Mercedes Benz S430 S500 S550 S63 AMG Style Black Wheels Rims

 

just a heads up....I would never run these rims at high speeds or cornering after installing them...they will do fine on my wife's car for now, but we are going back to AMG's...night and day difference in materials...and production. Hope they work fine for you. I think John's wheels are AMG wheels, may be wrong...

 

Thanks so much. DO you have website for AMG? I drive SRT6 and I drive real aggressively.

 

NO website, as I search for used take offs or sometimes on the MB forum guys will go aftermarket and put the stock wheels up for sale. Ebay has several listings but the knock offs are on there as well, so just be careful. There are good name brand aftermarket wheels out there. Not knocking them, but these Chinese wheels are cheaply built. They aren't molded in the same way as most wheel manufacturers.

 

I am looking for 19's for the front and 20's the rear. If I am going to pay money for the rims I want good quality.

 

there are plenty of aftermarket wheels out there as you don't have to go to an AMG wheel. That was what I was looking for on the MB car I have. I was just making a point because I tried a set of the Chinese knock offs. They were a ***** to balance and after researching how they are forged, I won't trust them except for winter wheels now. I have found a set of AMG that I will run in the summer that have been triple chromed, but will still run the Chinese junk in the winter. Each to there own, but I would not trust them at high speeds, which I like to do...

 

So are you saying you have found some good AMG rims that you have on your car that can handle high speed and cornering. If so where did you get them so I can purchase some. I know there are alot of aftermarket rims but 19's are hard to find in what I am looking for. I am looking for black rims with machine fronts. The AMG fit that perfectly. I would love to find some Mandrus Millenniums with the silver faces with black rim and lip but I dont know they would look.

 

Fact: Not all Chinese wheels are crap.
Fact: Not all aftermarket wheels are crap
Fact: Any aftermarket wheel with a JWL or TUV certifaction is as good or better than the factory wheel.

Here is a quote from USArims.com. Their wheels are JWL and TUV certified guaranteed and tested and are as good or better that most stock wheels. They have a good reputation. On the other hand the wheels that came on our cars from the factory have a history of cracking. They are made in Poland.

Where are the wheels made ?

We guarantee the same quality as your factory wheels. Our wheels are made in several OEM factories throughout Europe, North America and Asia. Each wheel endures a vigorous 16 step testing process including x-ray, underwater, radial fatigue and spectrometer tests to ensure it meets or exceeds the quality of your original wheels. Our wheels are TUV, ISO and JWL certified and have passed every necessary requirement your vehicle manufacturer has set forth, guaranteed.

 

Do they have warranties with their rims. I just talked to John with the graphite N/A. He told me the company he bought his from no longer make them. I told me his came with a two year warranty. He has been running his for 3 years without a problem. Thats what the quality I want and everyone should want.

 

Getting a wheel warranty honored has been a problem for many Mercedes owners. If you go the the MB forum you can read about many cracked wheels and corrosion problems and Mercedes not being willing to warranty them. They claim the user hit a pot hole etc for cracked rim and cleaned them wrong etc for corrosion issues. They have a 2 year limited warranty against defects.

Usa rims has a warranty that's the same as all the other aftermarket wheel makers. they warranty for correct fitment for your car and you must return them with in 7 days or pay 15% restocking fee. Like all wheel manufacturers once they are mounted they are driven on they are yours because you cannot prove you didn't hit a curb at 100MPH etc.. That's what car insurance is for if you have a bent or broken wheel etc you can make an insurance claim. That's especially helpful with very expensive rims but depends on your deductible and insurance company.

 

The wheels I purchased had forging marks from Europe inside of them and were TUV approved, so basically Autobahn safe, they also came with a 2 year warranty.

3 years in, I am happy with the wheels, have had them well over 130 with no problems, 10+ autoX and track sessions plus a few trips to the Dragon and been through 3 or 4 sets of tires.

Mine are the gloss black with machined face and if I remember correctly, may have been a little more expensive, but I also went 18/20 and it was very difficult to get someone to break up the set for me...

 

So got the new wheels put on. Here are pics. no issues at all. I put them in the following thread.


https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...tml#post766474

 

I like. How does it handle and high speed. Did they bolt directly on. I just found some other rims i am interested in. Does the machine face match the windshield trim, door handles, and side vents.

 

The rear wheels were +45 offset so I installed a 10mm spacer behind them. Other wise they bolt right on.
The machined part of the wheels is shinier than the door handles and vent ridges and windshield trim but it still looks great. I like the machined look against the other trim better than chrome.
