I got mine from mercedes benz, and they are really cheap , they are plastic with a chrome color, around 3$ worth it though..
about the Aluminum , they might be a bit expensive , but worth the li'l upgrade, it gives a nice interior touch.. for nothing (money wise)

I decided to order the brushed aluminum door pins instead of the chrome B class ones. I think the brushed aluminum would look better with the silver trim inside the car. Thanks for the recommendations guys!

I just ordered the brushed ones from FMM yesterday, and Jerry called me today to tell me he has a pair with the AMG logo on top for no extra charge.
I should receive them next week. I'll post pictures.

Uhhh... the B-class pins don't rattle at all, at least not in my car!
Are you sure you fitted them correctly? Pins shouldn't rattle, at least not when driving, the diameter is almost the same, and it doesn't matter if it's the originals or the others, they still have roughly the same amount of room around them, so if they DO move, it would still be the same, and they don't on my car.
