Andrew 12-09-2003, 03:00 PM I took the amg rims off my car to put snow tires there are no mercedes stamping other than a part number I can get pictures if that would help they are made of shitty magnisum which cracked a fell off. How can I tell they are fakes say's there made in ITALY ? Lynn 12-09-2003, 08:31 PM Pic of both sides of the wheel and the part number would help. I gaurantee those are not magnesium wheel. True mag wheels are very expensive. Andrew 12-09-2003, 09:02 PM Here are some pic's the one's of the back are not very clear it was dark in my shed, i will get some better pics in the day time P.s its hard to upload good quality pic with the limit at 256K when my digtal takes them at 5 mb Lynn 12-10-2003, 01:24 PM I believe those are real AMG aluminum alloy wheels. Andrew 12-10-2003, 02:53 PM That dosent look like aluminum to me are you sure. I used to do some aluminum welding and it dosent look like that ? here are the numbers off the back: 3 with a circle around it SL1042 Mercedes symbol 2024010922 7jx15h2et37 Lynn 12-10-2003, 10:18 PM The part number indicates that the wheel is for a W202. The chunk from the wheel looks like cast aluminum to me. Magnesium is usually much darker. Andrew 12-10-2003, 11:05 PM ok think they can fix that ??? Lynn 12-11-2003, 12:12 PM I don't know if that can be fixed. Al you can do is ask. Andrew 12-11-2003, 02:32 PM Took it to rim doctor they said it can be fixed as long as the hub is not bent. Luke@tirerack 12-17-2003, 09:54 AM that is a true AMG wheel ... we call it the Aero 1-piece it was an OE wheel on the C43 .... | ||
