Other models w/ interchangeable wheels as the W208?
Is there anywhere to get a definitive source for what other MB chassis wheels are interchangeable with the w208? I know everyone keeps saying that it depends on the offset, but that can be so arbitrary when it comes to looking for set of replacement OEM wheels.
I really want a set of the AMG style spoke wheels for my w208 but I'm terrified to buy a set from another chassis for fear they won't fit correctly.

99CLK320,
one size fits?
There is nothing arbitrary about it. If the offset is wrong it won’t work or you need spacers. Even if someone said all W209 or W210 rims will fit. How do you know that the ones you are looking at came stock on the car they are being taken off of? For instance my car came with E55 wheels. Basically you just need to find the correct bolt pattern and et. There are rims that come on different make and models of cars that will work on yours. How would you go about looking at aftermarket rims? Would you just trust the site to know? Another thing to consider about offset is where you want the rim to sit. It comes down to the fact that there isn’t just one et and size that fits so you just have to do your homework.
