Okay, so I must admit, these wheels looked SO GOOD I'm actually offing my other wheels to get these. Did you go through TireRack or some other retailer? PM me if you prefer.
Thanks man!! Amazing look. The Satin centers will compliment my graphite perfectly.

Yes, I went through TireRack. If your car have the TPMS feature then you can get the sensors too through them installed. The sensor are very cheap compare to the dealer. It only around $50 ea.

I think that Sport Edition is exclusive to Tire Rack...I just ordered 3 more myself after the tire shop gouged my old ones mounting new tires (at THEIR expense 
). The gunmetal looks PERFECT Klinh, please post pics after lowering!

It's a shame that the SE AMG reps aren't available in 18" fronts with the charcoal finish... I actually considered buying silver fronts, charcoal 19" rears and having a shop match the fronts to the rears... but that's my last resort. Chances are I'll simply do 19's all around and live with the extra weight.
Another thing, the 18" fronts are back-ordered until mid/late April, whereas the 19" fronts should be in by 3/29
On the subject of matching the silvers to the charcoal ones, how are the wheel rivets attached? Are they simply glued on like most replicas with rivets? I may have options yet, if that's the case...
Thank you for all the info!

I may just have my local Discount Tire install the TPMS, I'm tight with the guys that run it and have had several sets of tires put on numerous vehicles.

Mixing 18" and 19" might be a problem with ASB/BAS system...etc unless you can run the tires sizes within 3% different front/back. I would just stay with 19" around to gaurantee no problem. Who care about the weigh unless you into tracking your car. There's one down side about the wheel, it does not come with Satin/gunmetal painted cap. I can't find any Satin/Gunmetal cap on Ebay at all. There's only one place I found selling it for $80 for 4 caps
. I found another place that sell these satin/Gunmetal cap for only $5 ea. but I don't know if they would just sell you the cap alone without you buying the wheel from them. I were able to pick up 8 satin/Gunmetal caps from usarim.com because I just bought another set of 19" wheel for mine Clk500 Cab. from them. As for the rivets, since it a 1 piece wheel, I think it just chrome plastic snap on.

There are times when I look at the fronts and think they're too small for the car. Clearly the 19's all around would remedy this
BTW the lowered shots of your car are simply stunning.
