New project - '06 CL65

Got a new money pit. 2006 CL 65. I know all the stories and issues, but I have two good buds that were AMG master techs at a local dealer that have opened up their own shop, so I have a level of comfort. Taking on one with some miles on it but is in very good mechanical shape. PO was a doctor that had an ELW to 90K miles (107k on it now). Bought it on the cheap. Few mechanical dollars needed at this point but getting into the cosmetics is equally pricey. I, personally, think these cars deserve better than the treatment some get, but obviously others will think otherwise.

My questions are: 1) does anyone have the original AMG floor mats with a PN attached or stamped somewhere? I know they are discontinued, and I am working on having some custom mats made to get close, but I'm a search hound. If I could find the pn, I'd start working over google to see what I could find. 2) I've confirmed that the rear hubs on the CL65 are different than all the other CL's, specifically CL55 and CL600, so aftermarket wheel offsets will be dicey (stock rear AMG wheel offset is et60). Does anyone run aftermarket wheels on their '65's and, if so, would you mind sharing your offsets, front and rear? I'd like to have something a bit more aggressive than the stocks, but finding the right offset is tricky.

Thanks for any help a knowledgeable contributor can provide.
