SL 2-Piece Wheels
Is anyone running these 19" 2-piece spilt spoke AMG wheels to fit on a C55? I PM'd Swedepat but it doesn't look like he's been active on the forum in a few months. I'm only finding these wheels in the correct offset for our cars from a SL65. EPC isn't showing a part number for these on a SL55, just a SL65. The SL65 wheels won't slide all the way onto the C55 hub. The center bore of the wheel seems to be a bit too small. Also I'm wondering if there is enough depth in the center bore to accommodate the cap for the wheel bearing. I have RAD lug bolts on order.

I've been running SL55 wheels on my '06 C55 for a few months now. I have to use a spacer up front to clear the calipers, but the rear fits fine.

2003 SL500 Base
Will they fit: 2003 SL500 Base with SL55 AMG Wheels?
WOW...Fantastic looking rims. I have been running 18" staggered stock rims on my 2003 SL500 and always wanted to purchase these specific 19" AMG rims as an upgrade. But over the past months having had no real success at in finding any qualified sources (vendors) for purchasing a set of these. Besides I am not sure if a 2003 SL500 will easily accommodate a 19" rim fitment and also if these type of AMG rims designed for a later SL55 model year will actually fit? Particulary on the front! 10mm spacers or more? Any help and or advise on the AMG rim fitment subject is welcome!

I just had them refinished and the centers powder coated so maybe that's why they're not fitting on the hub. The lug bolts should be here on Friday so I'll try to get them on the car over the weekend.

I finally had some time yesterday to give it another shot with the install. You guys were right, they fit after I cleaned up the hubs a bit with a wire wheel. Applied a bit of anti-seize to the hubs and bolted them on. It was a very snug fit but they're on. No spacers required to clear the front brakes. Thank you all for the technical advice!
