I was advised by a few people in my local MB club, including a couple old rally racers and autocrossers, to never use "replica" wheels. I've also heard it on-line as well, yet many people here seem to use them and like them. Any comments on that?

Yes, I saw a pic of it when doing my search and I did like them! They may be a serious contender. Is there a reference for all MB wheels so I can find out all the MB wheels that would fit my car?

Also, I don't see an official Mercedes-Benz web site where I can shop for wheels. Is there such a thing? The dealer would only show me factory approved wheels for the W124 at the time of production. So, it had part numbers for a couple options like the Sportline, the E500, polished and chrome, etc., including lug bolts, etc. I would like to see all the current wheels and be able to sort by size!

Thanks,
