Need Wheel Choice Advice for SL55...sorry for separate posts

Currently I have the multi-spoke wheels on the order for my car. I didn't love them at first, but they are definitely growing on me. I don't want to switch to the 5 spoke AMG wheel as I already have them on my SL500. I was thinking of getting the new CL55/S55 wheel, which I love.

Has anyone made this swap at the dealer successfully?

I assume they are a direct swap but can anyone confirm this for me?

Thanks again.

If you are talking about the double spoke rims, they are 18" and dont have "rivets" on the edges. You can also consider the 19" AMG double spokes which do have "rivets" on the edges. I have a set with Bridgestone tires and they were $3500 with a swap of the multispokes. Much easier to clean and beautiful. I would post pics but they are too large. I can send you some by email if you want. Or you can search online and see the animation that tirerack.com has with them.

The CL55/S55 wheels is the AMG Style IV one-piece 18x8.5/18x9 with an offsets of ET44/44. The multi-spokes wheels on your car is AMG Style V 18x8.5/18x9.5 with an ET of 30/33. If you want the exact same wheels as the S/CL, they will not be a direct bolt on and you will need spacers. However, you might be able to put the E55 wheels on your car which is 18x8 and 18x9 with the offsets of ET30/39. Nobody has tried it but you can very well be the first one.
