I had the unfortunate experience of hitting what appeared to be a large chunk of asphalt on the freeway last Friday. I tried to miss it but...

The tire/wheel hit the rock pretty much dead center and actually cracked the wheel near the 'drop center'. The resulting 3" crack resulted in a rather immediate loss of tire pressure. Oddly enough it took the tire pressure monitoring system a bit of time to notify me of this condition . I'm guessing the wheel is a write-off, tire as well although it shows no outward signs of damage (I know better).

Does anyone out there have an extra front AMG 18 X 7.5, 37 offset (it's the stock 10 spoke for a 2008 CLK 550) wheel taking up space in their garage that might need a good home? Let me know the price and shipping if so.

Bill,
I'm sorry I don't have the specified wheel but this company has quite a few Mercedes Rims if you do not find one here.
Allfactroywheels.com
Their prices are excellent I thought compared to spares offered else where.

Thanks Marshal. I've been to that site, just keeping options open.

:thumbsup:
I'll keep my eyes open.
Shipping looks to be $25.00 from various vendors, not too bad.
Hope you find a nice one.
Marshal

PS: on the wanted/sale/trade section here on the forum, there is a vendor, California Chrome selling various sets of rims.
He may have a single to sell?
Just an after thought.
I thought we had the worst roads in the nation in Pennsylvania.

I'll have a look over there, thanks!

The money in CA goes to pensions, not roads, but that's an issue for another forum...
