22 Spoke Turbine Wheels on C55?

Has anyone tried to fit 22 Spoke SL550 Turbin wheels on the C55?

18X8.5" +30mm and 18X9.5 +33mm on 255/40-18 and 285/35-18 tires?

SPR had the SL55 wheels on his old car. They fit really well. I'd love to find a set.

That's close, but not the turbine ones. I always wanted to see a C55 with those spiral 5-spoke SL wheels that look like they belong on an SLR. There's a teal SL500 down the road from me with them #worththejailtime

I like the look of the SLK 55 wheels better than the SL 55 wheels. The SLK wheels have 18 spokes and the SL wheels have 22 spokes. I changed the wheels on our SL55 to CLK black series wheels and the only have 16 spokes.

Not a different angle but with spacers on the rear wheels and lowered. Also smoked markers and a single slat grill.
