I took them right off of Renntechs website. I know they make them in White and Chrome, I beleive they also make them in brushed aluminum, but i'm not sure.

I have pics of a C32 with them on, sent to me by an owner who did the switch. They are on my other PC, so I'll have to grab them...gimme a sec.

When I was at Renntech a few months back, they had the wheels displayed in their little showcase and they were white. I like the white look, although I think white adds a little ricer touch. I like brushed aluminum much more.

I do like the 10 spoke Renntech wheels, but I love their Nova 2 piece modular 18" wheels a lot more. They have the dual spoke, so you retain that great dual spoke look of the stock wheels. I guess the main reason I like them is because they look identical to the ones on the McLaren MP/17 .



Also, here is a closeup picture of the 10 spoke wheel so you can see how white they are:

I had to crop and downsize the originals to post them on the board, but I can e-mail the originals that are larger to anyone who wants them.

The ride height is stock. Photos copyright original owner (MBC36 was his name). This pic looks like it was outside of Evosport...

I'm sorry, but those are ugly! They look like the stock C320 wheels.

Agreed. The dual-spoke does look better than those.

I believe the Renntech ten spokes are partially magnesium. They are very light.

CLK55 AMG with standard 17" double-spoke wheels

Where did you find the 18" double-spoke wheels on the new CLK55? Base on mbusa.com website, it only comes with 17"....

Quote from mbusa.com
"Style
Further distinguishing the CLK55 AMG Coupe is an outward appearance that is both elegant and athletic. The sculpted lower bodywork creates a distinctive frame for the 17" double-spoke wheels and four chrome exhaust tips. Inside, heated multicontour front seats with pneumatic side, lumbar and thigh supports, and leather and aluminum trim combine to create a driving environment of exquisite detail. "

The 18" versions seem to be available from MB dealers. I'm sure wheel websites will have them eventually. The larger version will be on the S55 and optional on the E55 I guess...

I do know it exists.
