Were the 16 spokes ever an option on the C63?

I'm looking to change out my 2010 stock wheels for aftermarket ones and I really like the look of the multi-spoke rims I have seen on a few members' cars. The more I looked, I started seeing a lot of Cs with the multi (16) spoke wheels which is making me think that they were either stock or an option for one of the years. I don't think that many people would have gone aftermarket with the same wheels, correct?

The wheels that you speak of were for everyone else except for the US. I like you would have preferred them to the current wheel.

Thanks for the info. I do like them a lot. I am thinking TSW Mallory 5s as a somewhat comparable replacement:

They're available up here in Canada as an option for the 2011 model year.

They run less than $250 each. I've had TSWs on a Range Rover and a Prius (yes, a Prius) and really like them.

Unfortunately after researching these wheels further, their just 18x8 or 19x8, no staggered setup from what I can see. And the offsets are weird as well. if they were to offere a 18x8.5 and 18x9 or 18x9.5 that would be great with a 35 offset.

If your interested in rims that fit, look at the OZ Supterturismo..

https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...erturismo.html

Is the thread you want to look at. They are of course not the cheapest solution, but they are also not the most expensive. Tirerack has them.

They look really nice. I wish the MB center caps would fit though...

I do believe there are OEM center caps available for the different vehicle manufacturers for OZ wheels, but I cannot remember...

If I can get that confirmed, I'll go the OZ route. The MBs are a little more.
