Part numbers are 211 401 2602 and 211 401 2702

Hth,

Really appreciate the replies Peeps, Many thanks

If buying secondhand, look out for cracks and buckling - can be repaired during refurbishment but worth budgeting for in any case.

Thanks Will, I haven't decided what im doing really yet, Still trying to recover from the whole thing really.

Just putting the feelers out, would like to steer clear of Welded wheels, And of course buying second hand you don't know if they are buckled or not...

Appreciate the heads up tho.

If the wheels are relatively local to you, take them to a tyre place and get them to spin them on the machine for you; a bit of a faff I know but it beats buying a set of buckled wheels.

try mercman wheels on Ebay, seems goo and IO have just bought a front set but yet to check them, been assured they will be changed of there is an issue

Doesn't look like he has a full set of AMG IV 5 twin spoke alloys
I like the 19" split rim but can't justify paying £2k for a set

Click on the " Looking for alloy wheels" box.

That's what I thought.

Shame someone only sold a set of OEM 18 E55 rims with tyres for £400 inc carriage last week

Just as an FYI, R230 wheels do fit a W211 but you've got to use the W211 tyre sizes on the alloys (if that makes sense).

To be fair Gavin most of the wheels will either have hairline cracks or have been repaired during full refurbishment at some point. I've had four sets of them and I think only one set had never been welded. I've also had other AMG alloys including a different set of AMG 18s on another car that were refurbished by Lepsons back in 2003/2004 and are still going strong on a forum members car today.

Properly repaired the wheels should be as good as new - would take properly refurbished/repaired wheels over aftermarket/replicas anyway to be honest

I think you should find a good used set for circa £500 if you look about or £800 with tyres/fully refurbished.

I recommend Continental Sport Contact 3 MO tyres - not sure on current pricing but under £500 a set for the last ones I bought

Worth waiting for the right wheels IMHO and decent tyres if you're keeping the car
