French Canadian owner of Mercedes AMG models, my own driving experience, i remove run flat tires and install USA replica mag wheel.
No more mag bend, flat damage or suspension harsness.Of course like any vehicule you must check tire pressure as per manufacture specs each month.

I had a BMW Style 65 replica, made by Thai Alloy Manufacturing (TAM). The also had written "Germany" in them, but NOT "Made in". It took a pretty trained eye the spot the differences for non M-addict. But once I pointed out the differences they were pretty obvious. The rim had the correct dimensions (8*18 ET20) but not the correct CB (needed CB ring to bring it down to to 74.1). Color-shade was more or less spot-on with the correct "shimmering effect". I never used the rim, used it as decoration only, and sold it a few months ago, naturally informing the buyer that is not an original rim.

Those look nice. Mine were quite use looking so I had them restored and they looked better than new. Unfortunately, I am Mr. Rub The Curb. That perfect restoration lasted a season.

I don't understand getting replicas. Either get real wheels, or get cheaper smaller brand wheels.
