Those are the CLK not SLK wheels. Honestly, they are the worst wheels ever. I have no idea why Mercedes ever made them!

Well, I think those AMG Monos are the best 17"
But everyone got them now......

And for 16", The CLK rims are special. A class of its own.

Are all MB series' rims interchangeable?? in terms of offset and width??

Thanks

I also did not like the CLK wheels at first but they are the lightest I have seen. You litteraly can pick it up with one finger w/ out the tire mounted. BTW they only look good on that black W124.

The wax is just Gold Class from Maguire's and the polish I had to get at a paint store but it works awesome no more 3 part jobs this stuff cleans and polishes 100% better than what you get at the parts store. As far as the buffer it is just a cheap Wal-Mart one that a friend gave me. One day I guess I will get the Porter Cable 6in buffer.

Regards, Christopher

About those wheels, I'll admit they aren't the best looking ones out there, but they are unique and super light. I bought a set for only $50 so even if they are ugly, oh well!

That is the correct offset, mid 30's. They are 16's and the width is 7". The factory tire size is 205/55R16. They are light because they are forged aluminum.

UGLY wheels

Those "ugly" wheels are from the non facelifted CLK sport in Germany and standard equipment on the 4-cylinder SLK in Germany.
