so far, 3 possibilities :
1 - Sport edition 18's silver
2 - Brabus monoblock 6 spokes black
3 - the 1st wheel shown in the post #1958 (advans didnt like that 1, any other opinions ?)
btw weve been talking about bad quality ebay wheels... but what about tons of positive feedbacks for the seller ? how can u explain that !!

Just to give some people more "ideas," if you're willing to spend some money. Don't know if it's been posted, but Kleemann has a new wheel out that I think looks fantastic! Somewhat simple, but also aggressive at the same time. Look similar to the Superutrismos and other multi/straight spoke wheels. Only a 1 piece design, but don't know the weight. Don't know the pricing either, but here it is:

You don't know the quality of that feedback. Many people are not technical and only interested in looks & service. Most comments are passed when the item is new. Most things are nice when they are new. I'm not convinced that someone who bent a wheel on a pebble would go back & report it. Sellers can manipulate that site content.
The kleeman wheel is very nice, but i dont think itll look that nice on a coupe...

Re the Kleeman, you're asking the wrong guy. If it's not a style that Benz fitted as OE on one of it's many models or offered as a option I would not fit it. I like the OE look even if it's a replica.

The email I got from Kleemann said that it fits 99% of MB's, so if the offset is the same as any other mb chassis, it's possible they'll fit.

I like number 3 - what I don't like are all the holes in the hub - how many vehicles are these supposed to fit. - weakens the wheel - are there bolt covers - doesn't look like it?
The many holes are for universal fitment, I think it makes the rims look cheap

It also depends on design of the wheel as to whether it will clear brakes

If you have been reading what we said it's all about offset and the design of the wheel.

At least the non 112 fitment holes are unfinished. You must ask Frank and the other guys about fitment. All I gave you were the AMG minimum fitment specs i.e. 17X7.5 ET37 - offset moving toward ET30 better - 18" better.

These sites **** me off - I got the Eurotech specs from Cintoman - What do you think of stuntman314's new wheels?

i dont really like stuntman314's wheels... i beileve i can find better...
ive decided what style i want : mesh style in black with red lip.. its just a matter of fitment now....
Im looking into TenzoR typeM and Kyowa Racing KR628, both have the same problems, 10 bolts, and not sure of the fitment YET

Great - You know what you want - you must get those specs if you are going to order over the internet & not have trouble! I also get pissed that half the sites don't give you a part number to reference. I'm about to order from Eurotech & if I screw up I've got a long & expensive way to return things from South Africa. Eurotech screwed up Cintoman's lug bolt order to Rhode Island (too short) so I worry.

If the wheels don't fit. Send them back. The website says they fit!
