Whats the name of these rims

I know it was posted before but I cant find it.

If the car belongs to someone sorry if I used your car without you authorization.
Does anyone know what are they called? I know they are OEM MB but cant find them. Also where can I get them?

Thanks in advance.

From the pic they dont look like 17s but I guess from the drop it may look deceiving.

They come in more than one size, as mine are 18" (pics in the link in my sig). I got mine off Ebay, supposedly from an '02 CL55.

(oh, and hello everyone )

According to this thread started by Saprissa back in the day:
LINK: OEM MERCEDES WHEEL NAMES

These look to be AMG Styling III
(not Styling III New, though).

the ones in the pics, look very similar to being 19" wheels that came off the CL's.. I'm sure there are people out there that have done the conversion to fit the wheels without the use of adaptors.

AMG's

Yep, I have these on my car in the 17" staggared setup. I bought mine used with tires for $750. However, I am now in need of a front one as I have some bad curb rash.

I think Tire Rack has these named with a W203 too. You can check it out.

the wheels on that car in the initial pic are indeed 19's. they make that style in 19 primarily for the CL, but I've seen the AMG pricelist at CEC and those wheels are definitely available in 19 inch fitment for the w203 with some modification. I actually really wanted to get those wheels when I first got the car...

here's a pic of another w203 with them... (I'm not sure who owns it)

What kind of modifications has to be done?

Would the CL fit? I dont think so but just asking.

not too sure, I think spacers... come to think of it, I actually got quotes from two places regarding those wheels. CEC, RBTech/f1Motorsports and they were pretty pricey... I believe that they all said that the wheels were low offset while I needed a high offset.

good luck!

I love these rims with that drop.

I despretly need tires but I want to get rims. I'm going to research it. If its too pricey I'll get something with a lip.

Would you guys get 19s but if its too pricey settle with 18s? I'm still running a college budget so I cant really afford some real nice rims.

Thanks again for the info you guys provided.

they dont fit perfect, the diameter of the bolts I believe are different for the larger vehicles compared to the smaller. 12mm vs 14mm. you would need to find someone to do a hub conversion or custom fab some bolts for you. I was interested in doing the AMG 65 wheels.. the anthracite ones.

they are the type III like everyone said. They were made for the SL and the CL in 19" fitment. For the W203 to fit them you'll need to run spacers.
