What style AMG wheel is on a 04' CLK 500? AMG 5-spoke Style 203?
My factory wheel was scratched in a minor collision and the MB body shop told me that they have to send the wheel out of the country to be painted becuase the special paint is not legal here, which will cost around $200.00. I saw a 5-spoke AMG style 203 wheel on tire rack for $229 and it looks identical to my wheel.
Thanks in advance.

Two of mine had curb scratches and I had them repaired through the local dealership at $150 each. The dealership outsourced the job (locally) and it took 3 days. I had some warranty work done and managed to get a free loaner.

Let me get this clear:
According to the Tirerack web site, they look exactly as those which come with 2004 CLK500. In the following URL, there are 2 columns of prices for these wheels:
1. F:229, R:379
2. F:229, R:219
You said that the finish of these 5-spoke AMG style 203 wheels are duller than the OEM wheels of 2004 CLK500. Is it possible that they sell 2 kinds of finishes?
I called Tirerack twice and the first time, a guy told me that the more expensive one was chrome finished. I called the second time, another guy told me that it's a typo. How can a typo be there for a few months?
Do they fit perfectly?
