Not sure if you mentioned this elsewhere, so sorry if re-asking, but are these 20" rims OE or AM? They sure looked far better than the stock rims, IMO. I am starting out on a search for a replacement set for my current AGM 19s, and thinking of the multi-spoke Mandrus 23 rims but in 19"s, to re-use the RFs. I am OK with these RFs although indeed they appear quite hard and can be jarring at times, despite the air suspension on my E. I guess I got used to jarring rides while owning and driving the SLK all these years... If 20"s with normal tires can have a better ride than 19s with RFs, I may be tempted to consider this route as well. Just need an inducement/incentive or factual data to back it up...

Mercedes Benz owns AMG, so I guess the answer is they are both. Mercedes Benz AMG multi-spoke wheel; base Part #2134012200. MB makes more than one version, so if you are thinking of Mercedes wheels (I sort of recommend them) check with your dealer to insure fitment as there are color and offset choices and it can get confusing.

Go here - https://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/ - put in your car information and look around. They have Mercedes, AMG, Brabus and a couple other brands made specifically for Mercedes.

I actually bought from the local dealer at a decent-for-Mercedes price

P.S. Edit: I think Mandrus was bought by TSW and the brand was to be discontinued.
