ML with CL AMG wheels ?

Hello

I am thinking of putting the CL / S 20'' amg wheels on the ML instead of the ML's 20 AMG wheels. Anyone know if they will fit? or have some photos with them installed? any thoughts?

Heres a url showing them on ebay:

I have done some experimenting with photoshop to see how they look in comparison with the ML's AMG's :



Thanks

They look good. But they do not look different enough to warrant the change.

yes i agree they do not look different enough for changing from the ml's, but i do not have either AMG's yet on my ML, so i am basically trying to choose between the two in which one to install.
Some people have identified that their offset is siginificantly less than that of the ML's AMG, and that i will need spacers. is there any problems/sideeffects in installing these with spacers?

The stock wheels are much nicer!

If they were suitable, they'd be in Mercedes' catalog of wheels for the ML.

They're not and they're not.
