Inexpensive source for OE CLK63 BS wheels?
Don't know anything about this company, somebody posted a link on another forum I frequent so I checked to see if the had BS wheels and...... http://www.finishlinewheels.com/MERC...TYPE+209/2008/(go all the way to the bottom of the page)
Might be refurbished? Hard to imagine a new set of OE forged BS wheels for $1,240!!

From the looks of it looks like gravity cast knock offs. OEMs you can actually see the machining marks, those are too smooth & polished to be machined out of billet so most likely gravity cast knock-offs made elsewhere. They could potentially be pressure cast, which would be much better but still not machined. Gravity cast is usually the cheapest options but produces by far the heaviest wheels, not good for strength or performance.
The OEM CLK63BS wheels are ridiculously expensive b/c of how they are produced, so almost certain those are not OEM. Dealership is probably the only place you can get a legit set period and I'm sure they are NOT cheap.
