Hello, I'm looking to get a set of monoblocks for my 190e. I know monoblocks come in 18's but they wont fit as my car is lowered and the kit will rub against them. Do they come in 17's? Thanks! |

Monoblocks do indeed come in a 17" style. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think they were available in a 17" size before the later models had them in 18s. 18s will still fit, but prefer the look of a 17" Monoblock. The best place will be to keep an eye on eBay, there's quite a few genuine ones and replica ones that pop up from time to time!

Cool that's great news, thanks. Do they fit exactly or do they need the likes of a hub adapter? |

No adapter needed they should go straight on! But, to be on the safe side - post all the details up here of the size, the width of the rim and the offset (will be written as 'ET35' for example), just to make sure they're not too wide. Some replica wheels can be designed for the newer MB models and therefore a bit on the wide side.

Hello
|
You might find a good set of Originals, but if you're ok with Replicas (most are German-made, TUV-compliant and good quality) then you can do an eBay search for AMG 17" and see what turns up. Here's a set of Replicas. Edited by NEIL, Mon Feb 8, 2010 7:27 pm.

Oh nice, they look well! £300 isn't bad either, would they definitely fit my car? |

Hello
|
The ones I linked to - the rims are the right size (17x7.5" ET35) but the tyres are too big. Iirc you should run 215/40/17 tyres on these, but someone else should hopefully confirm this. |
