Forged Wheels for S211

[thefibreguy]

Guys,

Tried a search, but nothing came up!!!

Want 19's, fed up with regular wheels cracking.

1. Will a set of 19" forged be a lot stronger?
2. Will they stand up to the crap roads here?
3. What kinda money we looking at?

Can anyone recommend any suppliers here, or in the US?

Regards,

You are looking at circa £3k upwards.

According to the W212 E63 brochure, the AMG OEM wheels are forged.

Edit - one of the optional wheels on the latest facelift is forged.

Thats probably what I spend on Wheels/tyres per year anyway!!! I have kinda learned the hard way buying crap chinese wheels, getting them repaired, refurbed, changing tyres etc.

Wanna get a quality set now.

I bet you will be looking at 6k+ if not more.

I have a set of 20" AMG forged for sale in the Classifieds off my W221 S65. Don't know if they will fit, but a darn sight cheaper than £3k and proper AMG. My Brabus wheels were always getting flat spotted, these are as strong as an Ox.

PS ignore the sold ebay listing, the buyer has not paid.
