Sleestack,

Yep.

They are 18" (18x9.5 rear on a 265/35/18 and 18x8.5 on a 225/35/18)

By the way your car is awesome.

LowRyder,

Would love to but the 19s are just not suiteable for daily driving and nasty potholes.

The reason I say 18" is because last I checked, they don't make 18" BBS LMs for the CLK. Where did you get them? I would actually prefer 18" but didn't think they were available.

Sleestack,

Bought the wheels at Wheel Enhancement located in Culver City. Both front and rear wheels are less than $700 each. Aftermarket.com and of course Evosport also carry the wheels but prices will vary.

I bought mine from Evosport, however, when they (and Tirerack) checked with BBS, BBS said they didn't make the LM's for Mercedes in an 18"...hmmm. I'll give Wheel Enhancement a call... just gave them a call. Sure enough they have them in 17"-19". I'm confused.
