Mercedes A45s BR177 Riviera RF22

When it comes to hyper-hatches, the Mercedes-AMG A45s BR177 sits comfortably at the top of the food chain. Packing the world’s most powerful production four-cylinder engine, the M139, the A45s pushes an astonishing 415bhp through its advanced 4MATIC+ all wheel drive system. It’s a track ready weapon built for the road, especially when optioned in a sleek all-black finish with the iconic, sharp lines of the OEM factory aero package.

But as aggressive as the factory styling is, the standard wheels & fitment can leave enthusiasts wanting a bit more drama. The wheels are the defining handshake of any performance car and the factory offsets often tuck a little too much into the arches. That’s exactly why we rolled this stunning black A45s into the workshop for a brand new set of Riviera RF22 alloy wheels.

For a car as high performance as the Mercedes A45s AMG, you can’t just throw on any standard cast wheel. It demands lightweight engineering that handles immense cornering forces without breaking a sweat.

The Riviera RF22 is a core member of our advanced Flow Formed lineup. By utilising the latest flow-forming technology, the RF22 is significantly stronger and lighter than the cast alternative. What does this mean for the driver? It reduces unsprung mass which helps sharpen the steering response, improves throttle response & overall braking efficiency.

Beyond the performance benefits, the styling of the RF22 is a perfect match for the AMG’s racetrack-inspired DNA. It features a highly complex, deeply layered multi-y-spoke mesh design that branches outward from a clean central hub. Finished in Gloss Black, these wheels blend seamlessly into the black paintwork of the A45s, amplifying the car’s stealthy, high-end aesthetic.

When upgrading your Mercedes A45s wheels, managing the perfect fitment is everything. Go too aggressive and you risk ruining the car’s sophisticated handling or causing tyre rub. Stick too close to stock, and you lose that custom edge.

For this project, we opted for a square profile setup: 19×8.5 all round.

By dialing in the offsets perfectly, we achieved an immaculate flush fitment. The face of the RF22 sits perfectly inline with the edge of the AMG’s widened wings. Paired with the standard factory aero upgrades, this clean alignment eliminates the stock wheels tucked look, giving this 2022 A45s a significantly broader, more planted and fiercely aggressive stance without compromising a millimetre of its everyday driveability.

If you want to take your Mercedes-AMG A45s BR177 to the next level, a premium wheel upgrade is the most impactful modification you can make. The Riviera RF22 doesn’t just change the appearance of your hyper-hatch, it sharpens how it drives.
