CL65 gun metal wheels on a CLS55?? thoughts??

I am considering putting these on my black CLS55. This guys sells it for ~$1700 but I've seen them in silver selling for ~$1300.

Are these wheels legit, meaning they are real OEM wheels or some foreign knock-offs? Are they any good at all??

They show it on a white CLS, so I assume it fits... Any thought on how the gun metals would look on a black car?

Those are kick-**** and will look sweet.. They are TSW or Moven's or some other brand reps that were painted. I would get rid of the amg logo on them since the amg wheel does not have it.. It just looks wrong to me.. If they are pressure cast they will be lighter and stronger then real AMG's which are pour cast wheels and heavy as hell and bend easier. Ask the seller who makes them or if they are oredering special order containers overseas asia.. I bought my wheels for around 900 for 19's and paid 75 a wheel to have mine painted.

Those look too dark to be the real wheels made by AMG and the before mentioning of having AMG (on what looks like only one wheel) on them gives away they are not real, but should look good. Also that lip on the back wheels is interesting.

RENNtech is going to release couple of wheels soon. I will probably have demo wheels. Maybe you should wait and see what light and strong new wheels they have!

those are knock-offs

the description says CL65 "style" rims which means fake amg wheels

knock offs

amg doesnt make 20s in that style and amg will never make a wheel with such a big lip plus real amgs have amg written on them around the middle where the mb star goes.

those should be around 1000 or so

Beautiful wheels

Definitely beautiful wheels, plus the seller offer the option from 18-20", either titanium or silver polished... at about 25% of the price compared to the oem amg's
