Hey there folks................

So can anyone confirm if these wheels will fit my 51 plate E320 Advantgarde estate?

Can help with the question but note the words "AMG style" in the headline of the listing. They are unlikely to be real AMG rims - so 400 quid for a well used set of imitations seems high. Take a look at www.madhousewheels.co.uk if you want some nice new "AMG style" wheels for not a lot more.

They're a snide copy of the standard fit on the rather rare SL60. Proper ones will have 'AMG' written on one of the spokes. The real rears are massively wide and scuff very easily, they won't fit your car anyway.

Without much looking these :

...are nicely understated and lend something to an E Estate

Ahhhhhhh.........

Thanks for the advice folks! Must admit it does teach you to READ the listing properly!1!!
I';ll look at the other sites and get lost amongst choices!!

Must confess though the fact that the 17" wheels already on the Merc are the nicer alloys plus the tyres are still really good so............... oh dear .. what to do!!

Thanks again.

Yep those are fake wheels in terrible condition.

Most replica AMG wheels are Cr*p, they're soft metal and dent/buckle easily, the machined/polished lips corrode even worse than the proper ones, they look cheap, and they're worthless.

Other than that... shoot

Sorry for the rant, I'd keep an eye out for some proper MB or AMG wheels, they're fairly popular and pop up on eBay all the time smile
