Hi all. A question on replacement alloy wheels for my 2012 W221 S63. On a recent trip through Europe, I had the misfortune to suffer a cracked wheel rim whilst halfway through France. Apparently, the original 20” AMG wheels are no longer available (which I find incomprehensible on a car like this even at 12 years old), and the dealer did not want to weld the wheel, rather trying to sell me a different set of wheels and tyres.
Eventually, they did agree to weld the wheel and I got home without further incident after a week long delay, but should I trust the repair on a future long haul trip, replace with aftermarket wheels or consider a smaller diameter and see what’s available (bearing in mind that MB want approximately £700 per wheel for a replacement )
Your comment and input would be appreciated.
