Forum member sparsap put similar wheels on his W210. His wheels are ASA ST4, which are also replicas of the AMG Style IV. I suspect the ASA wheels are better quality than the eBay wheels...

I have been using the ASA ST4'S with FI GSD3 tires for over 15K miles now with no issues. I bought the whole package for 1200 with the staggered setup.
I initially went with the 18*8 all around then switched to the staggered. Only this was it looked funny initially before my suspension mod, due to the large gap between the fender & wheel.
I still have 2 18*8 wheels if you are interested. I also have a contact where you can get the ASA's for cheaper than tirerack.
Good Luck.

I like your wheels.. but I think the ones in the ebay auction are different. Yours look like the new E55 wheels. I think these look like S55... they are different right? Notice the way the spoke meet the outside edge... slightly different...

You are right they do look different, like the S55 ones. Anyways I doubt they are the same wheels the seller will ship you since they have the AMG badging on them and I think it is illegal to sell replicas that way. The price is good though.

Ha haa... yeah I saw that too. I would think at this price... they are replicas... KNOCK OFF... imposters... hee hee. I was looking at wheels and thought these might look nice on the W210 body. I think they are S55 flavor but wanted to see pics with them installed on our body... I don't intend to buy fakes... but just used this auction to show the wheel type...
I found a pic of S55....
