Andy,
Those aren't quite what I'm looking for. Sounds like a good deal though.
I'm looking for either a set of four front wheels for a 2007 C230, the CLK 5 double-spokes from the sport appearance package (again 4 fronts since I can't do staggered) or some other ones that fit my offset from the SLK, CLK's or E.
Anyone seen anything around that I might have missed?

Chris,
To destagger I would go for 4 X MB rear wheels from other models like splinter has & fit 235/45/17 tyres all round. You need offsets from approx 30 to 34 to be absolutely safe all round. I know you are not someone who would tolerate rubbing.
Front wheels mounted on the rear are too set back & look wierd.
ps. splinter runs wider tyres rear but same rim size on all 4. I'm running 235/45/17 all round now on AMG reps & it all works fine with acceptable comfort.

Chris - I have not photographed on the car yet but looks & works fine. My trusty Canon has failed. New one coming. I'm running 8 X 17 ET32 all round - You can safely fit 8.5 as well. I was restricted in wheels I could get. You have better choices. Don't try & run 245 on the front however. The dimple in the standard strut is too small & they will just touch with a Michelin PS2 tyre. I've done a test fit. You would have to run Koni Yellow struts up front with a larger dimple to fit a 245 & then it's tight. 235 is max you can safely run on the front with OE struts at this offset.
This is the wheel style I've fitted in Hyper silver - wanted the ones without split rim studs but not available:
