Very very nice. How much for the rims and did your tire/wheel shop have to get them from MBZ? What's the silver thing with the screw type studs behind the rim on the front wheel, it doesn't look like a caliper??

Thanks, gentlemen.
(1) One of local dealers import them, not from Daimler MBZ
even you pickup AMG style option, the rims are old type.
same here & in the states.
(2) They're limit q'ty so far, $580/pcs while popular CLK55
18" rims cost only $435/pcs
(3) Spacer Front : 0 , Rear 10 mm, available for W209/211
(4) Tire setting 235/45-18 & 275/35-18, that's the reason
8J/9J is better for me.
(4) The plate behind the rim is the clamp of rotor, light weight disc
comes out this way (or we call it two pcs)vs One pcs stock
rotor, it's much heavier in factory.

I bargain w the dealer, retrofit my C32 w/2003 Bi-Xenon
(beautiful eyes)& trade the Carlsson rims as a whole package.
It's still expensive this moment.
