Purpose and rear axle fitment

The presented wheel rim has been prepared as a component for mounting on the rear axle, which is crucial for proper load distribution and vehicle stability. The rim structure, bolt pattern, and offset geometry are optimized for the driving characteristics typical of Mercedes vehicles, promoting predictable car behavior during acceleration, braking, and dynamic maneuvers.

Thanks to precisely selected mounting parameters, the rim works with the suspension and braking system in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications, reducing the risk of improper wheel seating or adverse changes in suspension geometry.

Construction, material, and performance characteristics

The rim is made of aluminum, which allows for a favorable strength-to-weight ratio. A lighter rim compared to typical steel solutions helps reduce unsprung mass, which can translate into smoother absorption of road irregularities and better tire contact with the surface.

The silver finish gives the rim a subdued, elegant look that blends well with both classic and more dynamic body lines. The 10-spoke design ensures an even distribution of forces acting on the rim during driving, while also facilitating visual inspection of the brake system components located behind the rim.

Geometric parameters and driving properties

The diameter and width of the rim have been selected to allow for the installation of tires with typical sizes used in Mercedes models of this class, while maintaining the appropriate profile and contact patch with the road. The applied offset relative to the hub helps maintain the factory suspension geometry, which is important for stability at higher speeds and even tire wear.

The bolt pattern and number of mounting holes are consistent with the standard used by the manufacturer, allowing for direct mounting on the hub without the need for adapters. This solution limits additional stress on suspension components and facilitates wheel servicing.

Condition, application, and benefits of choosing a used rim

The rim is offered as a used original Mercedes part, meaning it comes from factory production and was designed with the specific requirements of this brand in mind. For many users, this is an attractive alternative to aftermarket replacements of unknown origin, especially in the context of maintaining a consistent vehicle appearance and predictable driving characteristics.

Choosing an original used rim can be a beneficial solution when replacing a single rim after mechanical damage or when assembling a set of wheels for the season. This allows for cost savings while maintaining stylistic and technical consistency with the rest of the vehicle's components.

Support in selection and additional materials

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the wheel area in your Mercedes and need other components from the same group, such as rims with a different diameter, rims with a different finish, or additional sets for a second set of tires, check the available parts in the Mercedes Wheels category.

Before deciding to purchase a used rim, it is worth familiarizing yourself with practical tips regarding the assessment of rim condition, regeneration possibilities, and selecting the appropriate parameters for a specific car model – detailed information can be found in the article Used rims like new: a guide to buying and refurbishing aluminum wheels, which will help you consciously plan your purchase and any potential renovation work.
