Mmm.
I was initially taken with the multi spokes, thought they looked much better than the SL55 efforts. The more I see them however the less I like them - I'm going for the classic 5 spokes instead - I know they're the same as the optional 200k/350 AMG factory option, but they look the best.

The 5 spoke is for the AMG SPORTS PACKAGE, if you get the SLK 55 AMG you will get the 16 spoke rims. I know you can change it, but those 16 spoke rims won't be put on any other car. So you are losing money, about 3 to 4 grand.
The 5 spoke wheels cost about $2000 and throwing away the 16 spoke rims cost about $3000.

Not sure why you think I'll loose money. The standard AMG 5 spoke is a no cost option, and it certainly won't affect resale as I reckon most (probably >50%) real SLK55 owners want the 5 spokes - I do!!

The SLK55 couldnt come close to being a replacement for the SL55.
