The new rims
18" X8.5/9.5 Offset: 32 mm front and 35 mm rear These C63 knockoffs arived at my house today. I attempted to get the authentic 06-08 CLK 500 wheels in 18", but the guy who sold them to me on ebay "dropped one." Anyways I got these... My questions are:
How much do you think I can sell my authentic 04 CLK AMG wheels for?
Will I need new lug nuts?
Where can I get the correct lug nuts?
Any of you rim experts know if I will need spacers or anything like that?

I have no idea how much you can sell the authentic wheels for.
I have the same offsets on my 19" which I had to get longer lug nuts. I called the company that sold me my wheels and they gave me the length I needed and the proper type of seat for the lug (my was ball seat vs. cone seat).
I went to a local custom wheel shop that supplies wheels to some of the local MB dealers to get my lugs...
With the 35mm rear I didn't run spacers, but some of that will depend on the look you are trying to achieve. You shouldn't have to run spacers unless you want to get a more agressive look.

Thanks Juiced, I'm in Houston too. What shop did you go to? You have a lot more options with the smaller brakes on the 320. I'm nervous about what I'm going to have to do the get these to fit on a 500.

I went to American Wheel and Tire. They're located at 9550 Hempstead Hwy. 713 682-1085
They are just outside of 610 between 290 and I-10 on Hempstead Hwy. They do some of the custom wheels for Star Motor Company....

Not sure why the pic went away.
Lychyrychy, No i got them from a Ebay store called Detail King.
I looked at the ones on Powerwheels pro, they looked ok.
The ones I got look identical to the C63 wheels, the powerwheels pro ones looked similar and even had the amg logo on the wheel (mine don't) but the looked a little off from the true c63 wheels.
