Im in the process or purchasing a set on 18 inch amg rims staggered 8's and 9's. Front offset is 31 and rear is 35. Strangely enough, the front two are made in Austria whiles the back two are made in Belgium. Any thoughts or input?

You should be fine.

I agree. Since they're different widths, I'm assuming that AMG sourced two different facilities for production.

look at lakeshore wheel & tire, they do perfect replicas of the true AMG's with AMG engraved logo, not like the cheapo looking ebay ones.

if you can get OEMs for cheap get that they are best, but replicas are for those who can't find any cheap.

However, keep in mind... the replicas actually have much more durable finishes on them and they are less prone the paint cracking or peeling. I've had 4 sets of OEM AMG wheels and they have all peeled at some point eventually, perhaps its just they are all getting old now or what I dont know but I protect them too w/ wheel wax and they still get damaged... go figure.

for once I agree with you, changing title would help get more results, especially when searching.
