Yes they are staggered, hub-centric, and have the fitment for the CLS. Price was around $1534, if I remember correctly.

I guess those Vossen's would look very nice on your car, but......... if I were you I'd want to see those Vossen's in person. Too much sales fluff to go on otherwise. I was VERY disappointed in Brabus - their rims looked spectacular on the web, not so much in reality.
Just my 2c.

Hhhmmm.......... okay, I see. I'm not a big fan of that style of AMG wheel - I thought they were like the one's on my S63.

Another thing to pay attention to is the threads on bad quality wheels. I think there was one recently on here about Sevas. Just some food for thought. In the event you do end up buying some wheels, make sure that the YOU are VERY comfortable with the installer and the service they provide. That is absolutely a must especially if it nullifies your MB warranty on the suspension and you get into a finger pointing situation betw. MB and the installer.

I would not take that bologne from ANYONE, let alone someone who's sole purpose in life is to "sell" (be it potatoes or $5000 wheels).

The guy was nice, friendly, went over intricate details that were non-biased with many brands, experiences, 3pc vs 1pc. He did mention about Sevas, and said I should stay away from non hub centric wheels. He referred me to the retail places they supplied to after that.
Good advice though. Discount tire has been pretty solid with the service for all my MB's and I have been dealing with them for some years.
