I just bought a 05 SL500 a few days ago and absolutely love it. Although the car is in near new condition with only 43k miles and the rims look brand new, I want something different. I wanted an AMG OEM wheel and looked on craigslist and Facebook and some others in AZ, NV, and CA and couldn’t find anything nice that’ll fit my car and tires. I have staggered 18”s and the only thing I’m seeing that I like are these aftermarket rims (manufacture is IPW)
Just curious if anyone has used these rims before and how good they are or aren’t.

I was going to buy these if I can’t find anything else in the next few days.
looking for suggestions.
Thank you

I've got 20" AMG wheels I am looking to trade out for 18" or 19".

Hi Sorry...I guess the way I concluded my post made it confusing. I am not looking for rims...I am looking for "Bolts"/Studs or whatever the proper term is for using these rims I bought. They don't look like they will take the MB bolts that are conical or acorn...looks like they need a flat shoulder to seat into the rim as per the pictures. I didn't realize it was hard to find a retaining bolt for the MB with a flat surface where contacting the rim. Lesson learned, but hopefully someone has some suggestions...John
Enter the original make and model of the wheel's source car on most websites. Search by car for parts (wheel studs or bolts may work) that fit that car. Ebay will probably generate too many finds. Auto parts shops like advance auto, autozone, or o'reilly's are local for me., and many like O'reilley's will ship to store next day pickup.

A local larger tire shop store might have a way of ordering the right ones that you need.
