I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I think that this is a new wheel. Saw pics of them somewhere - but never got a handle on 'em....

Yup, they look wonderful. I like the concave look. Can't have enough wheel options. Give us more 18" & 19" options. Wouldn't consider 16" & 17" wheels.

Whoaa.... those look awsome on the SLK. IMO they look better on the SLK than the original vehicle in the picture above. If you find out please post!

If I find them, will keep you all posted. I don't have high hopes even if I do locate them, just due to the fact that the B-Class is front wheel drive with an offset of ET49..... I'm not going to put 20mm spacers on my car.

I saw these wheels today on a MB CL 500. They looked exactly the same (18"), if not they were almost identical. Nice looking wheels. Must be staggered and wide on the rear. Tire size was 285x35x18.
