My dealer swapped the 5 spokes that came on the car for the dual spokes. Long story, but this directive came from the top at MBUSA (Being a MBworld moderator / member has its privledges Originally posted by smc22

awiner did you have any problems with the new rims? my brother in law said his parking break (hand break?) broke twice already, but he doesn't know if it's due to the new rims. Everything was fine until the wheel swap, and before that he had the car for atleast a month.

No problems should be caused by the new rims. They are the exact same offset and physical size as the 5 spoke rims. Originally posted by VroomVroom

The only thing I can think of that may be cuasing your brothers problems are using the incorrect length of wheel studs/bolts ?!?!?

On Friday I visited a Benz dealership in Burnaby, and they had a pre-03 CL55 (I could tell by the taillights, no v8 kompressor badging)...it had the dual spoke rims though...they look very nice in person

What does that 'directive' state? Does every owner with a 2003 S55 and CL55 get their wheels exchanged for free since the OEM Factory Window Sticker listed AMG Double Spoke Wheels. That would be great news!Originally posted by awiner

Not automatically, no. But you did hit on the prime idea. The window stick says AMG Double Spoke wheels .... If you didn't get those, there is a problem... Originally posted by E55 KEV
