Yes, new complete wheels are usually factory-balanced. This means that the wheels are fitted with balancing weights to ensure smooth rotation and to prevent vibrations or imbalance while driving. However, it is recommended to have the balance checked again after installation or when necessary—especially if you change tires or carry out any repairs.

Our original Mercedes-Benz complete wheels come with new winter tires from the latest production (DOT) for optimal performance and safety. RDK sensors are included for reliable tire pressure monitoring, and the wheels are fully balanced and ready for installation, so you're good to go right away. Ideal for a quick and hassle-free switch to winter tires.

In many cases, complete wheels may seem slightly more expensive, as they are already mounted, balanced, and equipped with RDK sensors. However, they offer the advantage of quick, hassle-free installation without additional costs for balancing and mounting. Another important aspect of Mercedes winter complete wheels is the so-called MO marking (Mercedes Original). Tires with this marking have been specially developed for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and tested by Mercedes. They offer optimal driving performance, increased comfort, and ideal compatibility with vehicle-specific assistance systems. Additionally, MO tires can be beneficial for maintaining warranty coverage and during lease returns, as they comply with the manufacturer's specifications.
