Technical characteristics of the AMG rim

The presented rim belongs to the Wheels category and was designed specifically for the Mercedes W204 class in the AMG version. The aluminum construction reduces unsprung mass, which translates into better suspension response and more predictable vehicle behavior in corners. The geometric parameters of the rim are adapted to the rear axle, which facilitates maintaining proper suspension geometry and correct wheel fitment in the wheel arch.

The rim size, width, offset, as well as the diameter and number of mounting holes have been selected according to Mercedes' factory requirements, ensuring the rim works with the original hubs, braking system, and tires intended for the AMG version. The rear placement on the vehicle allows for maintaining stylistic and technical consistency with the other wheels on the car.

Appearance and finish

The black color of the rim gives the body a distinctive, sporty character, blending well with both light and dark body paints. This type of finish visually enlarges the wheel and emphasizes the body line, which is particularly noticeable in AMG versions with a more aggressive styling package. The aluminum surface of the rim is prepared for use in everyday conditions, while maintaining adequate resistance to typical operational loads.

The combination of the black color with the characteristic AMG styling makes the rim look good both in stock configurations and in cars with subtle visual modifications. It is a solution that allows you to refresh the look of the car while maintaining the original character of the Mercedes brand.

Purpose and installation

The rim is intended for installation on the rear axle of Mercedes W204 vehicles in the AMG specification, where maintaining the correct mounting parameters and proper tire fitment is crucial. Thanks to the alignment with factory requirements, installation is predictable, without the need for non-standard adaptive solutions. The aluminum construction of the rim promotes stability during dynamic driving, which is especially important in higher-power cars.

The product is marked as used, which allows for an economical replacement of a damaged rim while maintaining the original origin of the component. This is a practical solution for drivers who want to maintain the consistency of the wheel set without having to invest in a full new set.

Benefits of choosing an original Mercedes rim

Choosing an original AMG rim for the Mercedes W204 ensures:

• preservation of the factory look and character of the AMG version,
• compatibility with the suspension and braking system provided by the manufacturer,
• consistency of parameters with the other wheels on the vehicle,
• the possibility of an economical replacement of a single rim while maintaining original technical solutions.

As a result, the rim is a reasonable choice both for repairs after mechanical damage and for the gradual modernization of the wheel set in the car.
