Local tire place tore one of mine up on the machine a month ago. They had to get a new one from MB directly. Took a week.

On our 2013, I had one tire that would loose air.  Eventually, I changed all the tires. Tire shop owner called me into the back and said he had bad news, told me about rim.  I looked at it and said, in front of the new kid, "It's lucky he forgot to use the lube, or we might not have found that crack."

Local MB dealer said they'd never heard of such a thing, but they had a rim in stock...........

go to Tirerack.com and replace all four with 6" wide rims. That way you can rotate the tires and keep one of the old ones for a spare tire. Replacing with aftermarket (back in 2009) was cheaper than a single factory rim.

Well mine has a crack about 2 inches long in the flat of the rim. I put a pice of tape, I cant re,ember the name but its black, thick, stretchy and has held air for 2 months now. It's a 2008 and I am going to check out Tire Rack.
