Going through the dealer, if they even still have them in stock, will cost an arm and a leg. Your best bet is to monitor this and other Mercedes forums, ebay & craigslist.

Hell as soon as I can find a set of rims I can afford, mine will be for sale... god knows how long until that happens.

I had to have a wheel replaced and got one from the dealer. If I'm not mistaken it was around $600+. I was surprised at how expensive the dealer was, luckily insurance covered it. I almost bought coolant from the dealer, but $28 was way to steep for a gallon.

Considering C230 Sport
I too am looking for some C55 OEM's. I'm looking to get a C230. The one with the C55 wheels doesn't have the CD/MP3 changer or power driver seat with three driver memory. The one with the options has the six spoke staggered. I think they're 17's too. The best substitute I've found are the gunmetal split five spoke wheels at OE Wheels. A whole set for less than the price of one of the C55 wheels. I'm not giving up my search yet though.

I have a set that I'm willing to sell. One side (i.e. one front and one rear) are bent. The front pretty significantly the rear is noticeable but still holds air. No gouges out of them and not cracked. The dealer told me that they were repairable but I just bought some new 5 spoke AMG's from Tirerack instead. The two others could use a respray but are in good shape otherwise (the CPO dealer had a couple minor scuffs cleaned up. I'd like to move them out of the garage as a fall cleaning project if anyone is interested in the entire set just shoot me a P.M.
