2007 S550 AMG with ABC
Must be a Northern california thing, but I found and purchased 2 sets of authentic forged twin spoke AMG 20" wheels in the space of 1 year on craigslist. One was from a CL63, the other was from an S63. Both from people upgrading to 22". I posted a side by side of the differences here:

To me, the difference is night and day. Maybe it is because i spent more to have a set of the real ones. Most people think im crazy and cant tell the difference.

The wheels are from speed vision motorsports in Cali. google it. Call them for pricing, you won't believe the awesome deal on these. 20x8.5 fronts and 20x9.5 rears on 255/35/20 and 275/35/20 Hankook Ventus V12 Performance Tires. Quiet, smooth ride. I got the tires through a wholesaler for only $650. Got the TPMS swapped and mount and balance for another $150 at NTB.

I definitely know there is a quality difference in the OEM ones, but for this price I can have a decent set that looks OEM for less than 1/4 of the price of NEW OEM wheels.

Yes, "AMG Spec" according to the S63's and 65's I saw at the dealer are exactly what I have on my car. Same specs on AMG's website too...
