i just ordered a set of E63 replicas (2nd/current generation) that look pretty similar... I'll post pics when I get them on next week.

Yup - I have had those on my silver C32 for a year now, only mine are 18's.
I went too wide on the back wheels fitting 265/35/18 and I get tyre rub everytime I go over a speed bump fast or when I have passengers in the backseat. I could use spacers, but not in the mood. Next time I will just stick to 255 on the rear. I had a helluva time getting the correct wheel nuts and then getting them to fit. I also occassionally get this weird grinding/ticking sound from the front left since I fitted them - sounds like a wheel nut protruding too much and rubbing on the caliper, but I can't find out where its coming from. Not sure if mine are replicas or rejects as the AMG logo on them was slightly damaged during the machining process, but hardly noticeable. Got mine for $ 2000.00 equivalent here in RSA. They look great and I have seen a guy paint his matt black and fit them on his E63.
