Man, would I love to send my car for a RennTech upgrade. But, at $50+K for engine work/performance upgrades...it really is not worth it. Something like this would be a good buy, since the work was already done. Rims are nice though...already bought set of 18 in AMGs nd am very happy with them (nearly 10 in wide in back). Try emailing the guy, when does asking a question ever hurt?

They are a 1pc with cosmetic rivets, and they kinda look to be a HAMANN PG replica with a MB cap (when companies make replicas they make many different lug patterns).
They are kind of a "cookie cutter" type wheel (meaning manufactured to fit on as many cars as possible using 2 or 3 offsets and 2 widths). Wheels like that normally do NOT work on r230's simply due to the specs of the vehicle being very aggressive not to mention the caliper sizing on some models.

yep, those look like hamann replicas and probably need hub rings- due to the bore, if not spacers- due to the offset in front of the r230....plus they scream beemer IMO. Try and get something that bolts right on if you can.
