Looking for cl65 or s65 amg wheels. Or do you know if sl65 same wheels will directly fit? Anyone know what finish this is in the picture?
Please any lead is really appreciated. Thank you.
The offsets, especially the rear, are different on a CL and S65 from all other CL's. Note sure about the SL; could be the same. The 65's are an et60 rear offset; not exactly sure of the CL55, but it ain't et60. The wheel in the pic I think is an actual CL wheel, which looks a lot like the W215/W220 65 wheel except for the center color. The 65's are a darker grey. On the 55's, the color of the ring and center is more congruent.

BTW, love white CL's.
The S65, S55, CL55 wheels will fit same to each other. I bought a set from a Cl65 and the wheels fit my S55 when i had it.

I can confirm with reasonable certainty that the oem wheel sizes for the W220/W215 S65/CL65s are 8.5-et44 front/9.5-et60 rear. The S55/CL55 are the same wheel widths with et44 front/et46 rear offsets. "Fit" is subjective. As you can see, direct swap for the front's are no problem, but any offset differences will cause the tire/wheel to protrude from the fender, as is the case in the rears. How much? Find your preferred wheel and tire size (offsets included) and use one of the configurators online to tell you how much the delta will be. Rubbing is possible. There are numerous threads on here and the W220 section about these issues. The W215 and W220 '65 hubs are different from the others in the model group, and depending on offset, can also be problematic for caliper clearance. So, can the '55's swap? Sure, but the rear fitment will be a little different, with protrusion of some degree a consequence. I own a 2006 CL65 and want to try a different wheel from the correct oem style; I've done copious research. W221/W216 '65's are a different story.
The 2006 cl55 came with the same wheels from the cl65 as stock wheels. Do you know if the two wheels 2006 cl55 and the cl65 have the same rear offset? et60? so even if i find either set i'll probably will need spacers?

I'm not sure I'm completely following you, but the rear offsets between stock CL55 wheels and CL 65 wheels are different, as I noted in my earlier post. CL55=et46; CL65=et60. For a CL55 to have the correct stance using stock CL65 wheels, a 14mm spacer would be needed. It would fit per se, but the wheels/tires would seem a bit inset. A 14mm spacer would "push" the et60 14mm out to mimic the et46 offset and fill out the wheel well appropriately, and appear as the MB engineers intended. If you have MB oem wheels, look at the inside on one of the "spokes"; it will have the offset cast there along with part number and width. If you have stock CL55 wheels on a CL55, you do not need spacers, obviously. Stock CL65 wheels on a CL55, you will need spacers. The W215 CL55 has many more options for wheel fitment than the W215 CL65 does. The et60 is really an anomaly and a pain in the a**. The engineers just had to deal with an existing chassis (W215) with the necessity of a beefed up hub/rear end for the torque of the v12tt. To keep the same stance as the other W215's and fit the wheels and tires within the wells, the et60 offset was required. With your CL55, try to find a wheel you like close in size and offset to stock. Avoid using spacers if possible. Spacers are okay; just better if you don't need them. That is a debate for another day.

Yeah I’m trying to avoid spacers too. There’s some genuine cl65 wheels out there with et44 and et46 as a set which would be perfect. So I’m wondering if it came off of a 2006 cl55. Cause between the 2005 cl55 and 2006 cl55 the wheels changed. 2005 they used the double spoke 18s and 2006 cl55 they used the same wheels as the cl65. Im wondering if the wheels are the same size as the cl65 and mercedes are using spacers or changed the break system for the 2006 cl55. Or if they created the same wheels as the cl65 but used an offset of et46 to fit the 2005 cl55.

This is the only oem wheel that was available on the W215 CL65. It was exclusive to that model in a rear offset of et60 and has a darker painted center. If you are seeing anything else, it is NOT a W215 CL65 wheel that came stock on that specific model vehicle. The W216 CL65 had the et44 offset, but it does not look like the wheel above. I know because I was considering all sorts of oem wheels, as the stock W215 CL65 shown above is not my favorite.
So, with that said, in response to your email, the 2006 CL55 may have used the "same " double spoke 19" wheel (two pieces with bolts on exterior rims, whereas the 2005 was a one piece), but the center is the same color tone as the rim and the rear offset is NOT the same as the CL65. The pic in your FIRST post in this thread is the stock CL55 two piece wheel, with different rear wheel offsets (et46). As noted before, the pic above is the ONLY stock wheel on the W215 CL65 (2005 or 2006) and it DOES NOT have the same rear offset as the CL55 wheel. Mercedes DOES NOT use spacers from the factory. Again, if you are seeing CL65 wheels that do not look like the above wheel, they are W216 (2007 and later) CL65 wheels.
It seems like your last sentence is on the mark, however, the center paint on the CL55 is the same as the rim, and is as shown in your first post in this thread. Now, it is also possible that someone took a CL55 wheel and had it painted to match the CL65's darker center, so if you see a wheel that looks like the above but has a et46 offset, maybe that would explain it. But otherwise, what I am saying is straight up truth. I also believe that the wheels shown in your first post were options on the 2006 CL55, whereas the 2005-06 CL65 had only one wheel available. Again, shown above.
My 2006 CL65, right before I bought it. Now in the shop getting custom work done (doing black headliner, calipers powder coated bronze and changing burl walnut color to anthracite, among other things). I will also be changing wheels, and am leaning to the Hollander 65502 oem wheels. Yeah, rear offsets are gonna be an issue. Will be test fitting soon. Wish it was white.
whats the offsets for Hollander 65502 ? im fine with my stock wheels right now. i just wish it wasnt chrome. i'll be fine with alloy. you make me wish my cl is black lol. Thats very nice.

65501/2 are staggered width 8.5/9.5 with et43 for both.
Stick with white. When it's done right, one of the best looking colors on the W215 IMHO. The pic in your first post supports my opinion. Also one of the rarest, for the AMG versions. Black AMG W215's are most common. The unicorn is white exterior/black interior. Only seen one CL55 like that, and man, it was a looker.
I also have a set in very good condition for sale. See attached pictures for exact part number and offset etc. Will accept a reasonable offer plus shipping. I’m away on business right now, but could have my son take some additional pictures if interested.

Kind of odd to refer to the wheel by the interchange number.
The OEM numbers for the wheels you mentioned:
A2214000302 A2214000402
