Purpose and fitment for Mercedes W204

The presented rim has been designed as a rear wheel for Mercedes W204 models with the AMG package, which ensures the preservation of factory suspension geometry and proper wheel fitment within the wheel arch. The seven-spoke design is characteristic of Mercedes' sporty versions, making the rim an aesthetic and technical complement to the original wheel set.

As an item in the Wheels category, the rim ensures proper load transfer from the tire to the hub, and the appropriately selected mounting parameters allow for correct seating on the Mercedes hub without the need for non-factory adapters.

Design and parameter characteristics

The AMG rim is made of a lightweight aluminum alloy, which helps reduce unsprung mass compared to typical steel rims. This translates into a more precise steering response and better suspension performance, especially in cars with a dynamic character, such as AMG versions.

The parameters of diameter, width, offset, as well as the bolt pattern and number of mounting holes have been selected for the Mercedes W204 specification, which supports:

• stable handling at higher speeds,
• proper cooperation with the suspension and braking system,
• even load distribution on the hub and bearings,
• trouble-free installation on factory Mercedes hubs.

Exterior appearance and color scheme

The black finish of the rim emphasizes the sporty character of the AMG package and blends well with both light and dark body colors. The seven-spoke design provides a bold yet understated look that matches the elegant lines of the W204 body.

The black color optically reduces the visual mass of the wheel while exposing the brake calipers and discs, which is particularly desirable in cars with a more dynamic style. As a result, the rim can be used both as a replacement part and as a subtle visual upgrade over standard rims.

Condition, application, and benefits of choosing a used rim

The rim is in used condition, which allows for a reasonable purchase cost while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. For many Mercedes W204 users, this is a practical solution when replacing a single damaged rim or when completing a wheel set for a second set of tires.

If you want to better understand what to look for when buying second-hand rims and how to approach their refurbishment, it is worth reading the guide Used rims like new: a guide to buying and refurbishing alloy wheels, which discusses key aspects of selecting and refurbishing alloy wheels.
