Vorsteiner custom forged wheels are made by DPEngineering, a leader in performance wheel manufacturing. They employ style and quality in a completely customizable custom forged 2 piece wheel!

Expect big things from Vorsteiner in the coming year...

It does have a lot of spokes for some of the Mercedes models. It will look good on an E55 or one of the more "sporty" models, though. I think it would look nice on an R171.

I think you're being a little too harsh... but I agree about the centercap. Perhaps they have a no-color engraved option or maybe you can use the MB cap.
