Next best thing.
I did the cheap-man's version of those wheels. I polished the lip of my C32 wheels and painted the centers.
There is no published paint color for those wheel centers, so you need to improvise. I used a color called "Gunmetal Blue" offered by Jaguar.

I'm envious of the guy in the picture too. He's at the track, and like you, I am not! I guess that is what pictures are for! I only get out to the track 2 or 3 times a year. I wish it were more frequent.

S65 rims on C32 AMG
I was able to use SL65 rims on the C32 with minor modifications. So YES, it can be done, but the dealership will have to adjust the offset a little, but once done, the car drives flawlessly.

No rubbing at all. Apparently the rear wheel offset (less than fronts) works very well. I've tried two different 245s. What really matters is the true section width, which often exceeds the reported section profile. In some high performance or R-compound tires, I would probably go with a 235 profile.

I may be going with 245 all around with my next setup on 18".
