S73 wheels, help!
Well, I have decided on the wheels I want for my 600. They are found on a lot of the S60/70/73 AMG cars. Here's a link to a picture: http://i.imagehost.org/view/0377/1161250410155742
I need to order these when I go to the MB dealership on Friday. But I have no idea what they are called!
I cannot find it anywhere on the internet. If anybody on here knows what these wheels are called it would be a lifesaver! Or even better if anybody has the number off the back so I could have them order it from AMG for me.
Thanks!!!

The benz dealer here can still get them (for $2k per wheel). So yes very expensive, but I knew what I was getting into when I bought this car. Thanks again!

You sure you dont want to go 19s? The S72 actually came with monoblock aero II 19s.
Its the S70 that came in 18s
I wish i can find that euro trunklid cheaper...

I do want a bit of tire left so the ride isn't too harsh after I install the wheels and suspension. Do you have any other pictures of the 19 inch Aero IIs? Also, I just figured I'd ask if you know if the Aero IIs come only 8.5 inch width or do they make a 9-9.5 inch wide? How much have you found the euro trunklids for? I've done some digging but I haven't come up with anything yet..

$2k for a wheel is a bit steep but considering the S73 AMG cost 440,000DM when new $2k per wheel doesn't seem so bad. I just bought my lifetime membership on Benzworld so I'll be posting up my issues over there soon.
