Yeah, I was gonna say that I'm pretty sure those are a Mercedes wheel, or rather AMG.

AMG wheels = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

yes, they are AMG wheel, i think they also make some with that design which are one-piece.

Found them for 550$... a pop :screwy:

Correct, and thus it doesn't have the bolts around the edge. :)

I've got better things to spend $2750.00 on!
(I only use full size spares)

is that car in the pics a C55 ? i know someone who owns one, but with different wheels, and dont think that the C55 comes with the supercharger, but the one i know has a retro-fitted supercharger. 500bhp C-Class.

I would assume it's an earlier C32, which did have the supercharger as this car appears to be advertising...

yea, i think you're right.

looking at pictures i have of a standard C55 it has quad tailpipes.

my friend's dad bought one but it wasnt big enough as a family car, it was passed down to my friend's brother who then took it to his workshop. added a mercedes supercharger and a few other goodies. it also has a "real" gearbox with a gate and a clutch. that thing shreds tyres like its goin out of fashion.

$550 a wheel jesus.. Put some good tires on those and that's more than what I paid for my entire car

Just curious, why do you need $550 AMG rims?

Those bolts around the edge aren't used for anything except for styling. It's an imitation bead-lock. 2 piece wheels are just a rim that is heated up to allow the centerpiece to pop into place, then they are welded together along the inside of the rim. God help us if companies start bolting 2 piece wheels together. Peace-

i thought there were actually wheels that are two seperate pieces, like Rays Engineering Volk Racing GT-C are two seperate pieces aren't they ? how else you you have that very polished rim and painted smooth, but not polised, centre ?

You kids really do have to stop smoking crack.

Most race wheels are two or three piece.
Usualy the centre hub with the spokes makes up one piece, and rim makes up the 2nd.
This way the manufactor can make one size of centre peice, and sell differnt width rims to suit differnt use's, or needs.
3 piece wheels just make the centre hub a 3rd piece again, meaning one set of spokes to produce, and you then order a hub to fit your car with rim width to suit.

They are popular in motor sport becuase if you happen to damage the wheel rim you don't have to replace the whole wheel. You just unbolt and order a new one from the manufactor.
It also saves weight, as the centre can be cast from light weight allow, and the rim made from even lighter rolled or pressed steel.

yea, i was pretty sure that there are wheels made of more than one seperate piece.

although, there are wheels made where the bolts do nothing and really are for show, i think those AMG wheels are actually one piece.

Well I'll be damned. First time I've heard of that. Any 2-piece wheels(wheels that aren't made out a solid piece of stock) I've seen are welded together. Thanks for the info. Peace-

:confused: 04 C class hello? why else?

your parents are spending $2200+ on factory benz wheels? wow, I wish I had that kind of money to piss away... :rolleyes:

Then work harder.
