Besides the bolt locations, the big difference is that the RS-GT is a lightweight forged multi-piece wheel.

RS-GT
I purchased the RS-GT's for the C230 Sedan.. TireRack does not offer a proper fitment for our cars in a staggered setup.. it has to be custom made.. I ordered mine from Wheel Experts.. And i should have them on Weds.. Mounted on Thursday and Pics on friday.. if you want to hold out till next friday to see what they look like.. but note.. there is a 3 month wait for them..I ordered mine before i even got my car..

RS-GT's are Forged.. RX II's are Cast.. Forged are 3x as strong..
