Replica's? If you are going to go with replica, stick with your original twin spokes...

Those aren't E63's rims. They're from the CLK63.

My opinion: The CLK63's wheels. Those are REALLY nice.

How much are they by the way?

Go with what you have. Otherwise go with E63 rims.

Those are the same wheels that are on the E63, but I am sure with those offsets they are not from an E class.. They are probably standard with the new 63 models.. I bet these are off of a CLK..

I have the Style V and I really like them, but the new Style VI is pretty damn cool..

You know, I was debating this issue when I first saw the CLK63 pictures. I have always thought that the 18" CLK63 rims would look awesome on my Pewter Silver C55.

Then I went to the dealer and asked for the price: it will cost me close to $10000 (Cdn dollars), not including tires.

I'm still tempted to get those rims, but the price is just insane.

And no, you can not use the E63 rims on our W203 C55 because the offsets are very different.

Ohhh, I like those CLK55 rims. When is someone going to come out with replicas? BTW, anyone know of anyone having the AMG logo machined into their replica rims?

Just to clarify again on the grey paint finish star spoke rim in the photo:-
1. I took the photo live in the local AMG wheels dealer.
2. It is 18".
3. According to the shop guy, they will fit the C-class/SLK-class.
4. Above spec was copied from a photocopy of a official AMG parts bronchure. So I guess they will fit my C55.
5. The one in the photo is a grey color on inner side of the rim with the star being high-sheen finish. There is silver color version of the same design, called: Style VI, sterling silver paint finish, high-sheen finish.
6. If they are for C-class, the price would be the same as my current Style IV, which is ~USD1600-1700 for four.
