Does anyone know if these will bolt to my 2006 E350 with current lugs? The part numbers are the same as the VW application.
from tire rack...
Necessary wheel installation hardware included at no additional charge.
Does this mean I need new lugs to bolt the LMs to my car?

The wheels include the lugs and rings used on the CLK55 I took these off of, which are straight from BBS and were what the wheels were supplied with. They are ready to bolt on a benz.

I am extremely interested and could have a check on it's way the next day if I could see the final product after being painted. But it seems as though somebody already has a firm grip on them. Is this correct??

There was some question as to why the price went up. The refinishing cost is being rolled into the wheels, if someone wanted to do them and save, that chance has now passed. These wheels were well over $4k new, and they are staggered, which for the benz crowd is the favorable fitment.
I will shoot pics on Monday and post them, and the centers will be silver, unless a deposit is received to change them over otherwise. Thanks.

I've got 4 people saying they want these wheels once they are done.
Here is a sample of what the silver finish will look like. These are a 2 piece 16" BBS multi-piece I had completed, but these lips were left uncleared and are lightly polished out. After this weekend, these will be substantially more bright polished. The LM lips are less bright than this, as they are clearcoated.
I picked up another 8 wheels I've had done by this shop today, they do awesome work. I entrust all of my multi-piece wheels to them without any concern.

Finally went back and picked these up today. These are $2850 at this point, the refinish was more expensive than expected, but the results are pretty awesome. More pics available, these are dusty and need wiped down again, but they are ready to go.

I cannot be 100% positive, as I have not found the specific model numbers for correct fitment.
However, mine came of a CLK55 AMG. Front wheels are LM127 and rear wheels are LM128.
On the CLK, you needed to use a very small spacer - 3mm - for clearance, or grind a touch of the calipers and they were fine without spacers. Unsure on the C55, but I think there are a lot of people on here with similar wheels that may be able to help.
Inbox is clear, again for PMs.

If you want bigger, I also have a new in the box set of RS-GTs in diamond silver/polished, never out of the box condition, 20x8.5/9.5. Looking for close to $4k, as they were almost $6k when I got them.

Still available, bump. Thought these were spoken for, but payment has not been received. Someone make these a nice home.
