5-twin-spoke wheel, Alcyone, 40.6 cm (16-inch)

The long road to perfection.
Mercedes-Benz light-alloy wheels not only enhance your vehicle's looks, they also offer maximum safety.

All wheels are precision-tailored to the vehicle in terms of load profile and dimensions. Before the light-alloy wheels are allowed to accompany you safely on your travels, they are subjected to an extensive development and testing programme. Each wheel design has to pass a variety of endurance tests, based on exacting Mercedes-Benz guidelines, all of which exceed statutory requirements. These include special test routines which simulate real challenges on the road and material tests in cutting-edge x-ray facilities.

High-sheen wheels undergo additional tests such as exposure to highly corrosive salt spray or a 28-day variable climate programme. The wheels may only be included in the range of genuine Mercedes-Benz light-alloy wheels once all of the tests have been passed.

Mercedes-Benz light-alloy wheels are supplied without tyres, hub caps, valve caps, wheel bolts or rim locks.
