Most "styling & accessories" stuff used thruought the automotive industry is NOT OEM product. It is called "automotive aftermarket" stuff.Those items in the catalogue that are genuine MB are clearly labeled. Most of the stuff installed by car dealers as "styling items" are NOT "genuine OEM" parts, such as wood kits, spoilers, aero kits, headlight trim rings, running boards, (unless they are "factory/dealer installed items) etc. The automotive aftermarket industry is a multi million dollar industry... so you needn't be afraid of aftermarket items. Most, if not all wheels people put on their cars are not OEM, but aftermarket. Often it is the only way to get the look you want.
