Hi WenTian,

8.33km/l is not bad for a 19" wheel. Just top up my 2nd tank, my 1st tank 8.2km/l on stock 17"rim - 80% city / 20% highway.

Regards

Bros, I'm also on 19", for about 57L, can hit barely 500km. Thinking if I should switch to 18"..

Does anyone know how do u know if a set of rims is replica or original?

Also how much typically can a set of 19" rims trade in fetch?

Someone selling his 18 inch Breyton under "Private Ad", you may want to take a look. Too bad the rim is black and it does not match my black car.

The rims are pretty new.

Stevie, I am on 18" and my mileage is approx 8.5km/L which is approx 500km for a full tank.

Is your ride 1.6 Kompressor? I think the 1.8 can achieve better mileage than the 1.6?

I think there're replicas and original branded rims right? Mine is 19" printed AMG, so wondering how to differentiate if it's replica or original....

Nowadays is difficult to tell the real stuff from fake. The real stuff on the back, there are part nos stamped, eg A204xxxxxxxxx etc A204 for C class & not A212 which is meant for E class. But some Mercs parts are common, like the AMG pedal set!! The accerlator pedal can be used on both C & E class for the preface model.
