Cant say if the lip on those AMG style splits are the same as the one you posted but they are not the same wheel.. the one you show appears to be the SSR GT3...

Guys I appreciate all the good comments. I've got some pretty good pics that I'll post soon. Just some thoughts:
1. I would love to have a lip that could fit a greenback, but about the only thing close is probably a $100 in monopoly money. That picture earlier looks to me like an SSR GT3 wheel also. Either way, it's a good pic - too bad it isn't mine tho.
2. All the offset/pricing questions look like they were answered by Neal.
3. In case they weren't - I bought them from Neal @ Euroteckmotorsports. The cost was very reasonable and as for mounting/balancing them... I have a connection at the NTB, so I just bought them some beer and they took care of the rest.
Something weird has come up though - i hear a slight knocking/rolling sound coming out of the back left wheel/tire. At first I thought it might've been all the packaging residue originally on the tire (tape, etc), but it's still there after a tank of gas worth of driving... it def. sounds like something else. Anyone else experienced something like that? Not sure where to check first.

Is it only on turns or bumps? somehow the C-class rear left only is always prone to minor rubbing.

Your problem sounds like common rubbing. I have the samething actually.
Erics somehow seems a bit different since its happening all the time and his car is not even lowered....hmmmm.

Guys, I took my car to NTB today and found the problem while I was getting my wheels retorqued.
The fender wall protrudes too far into the wheel space and rubs on the inside of the tire.
Essa - the sounds was a 'ticking' noise for me as well after I got the wheels retorqued. I don't really know how a fender wall can really "tick" but once we cut a small corner off of it (about 3 square inches - in a triangle space) the ticking seemed to stop. Funny thing tho, the part I cut off of it says ...Chrysler (obviously the full label would say DaimlerChrysler. We were all sitting there scratching our heads laughing at how ironic it seemed.
I'll post pics of the piece when I get a chance. I didn't have my camera with me when we cut the corner.
In the meanwhile I got a couple more shots of the wheels... enjoy.

As for the use of $100? I understand that, probably the smallest bill in his wallet!
