You should think twice about it. Having owned several modified Audis in the past, I looved the BBS LM's, they were always one of my favorite wheels. I purchased a set of reps in same size and tried it on the AMG. It just doesnt look right, I sold them next day. They look a LOT better in 20's.
Your call..

I like the look, post pics when you slap them on, I'd be interested on seeing the look, looks like they dont offer them in 20s. or do they? what size tires are you going with?

HAHA I did just get new rims recently but i'm gettin tired of them. They look too OEMish. These will be nice because I have always dreamed of the LM look but don't want to spend that much bank.

My $.02. I bought a set of Linea Corse Fox wheels for my Porsche turbo from Wheeldude. The service was great, but the wheels unfortunately were lacking in quality control. I had runout issues on the original set, and the same on a replacement set. These were among the first wheels made by WD under their Linea Corse brand name. The wheels were actually made for them by Rota in the Phillipines. I don't know where the LM reps are made, but if they are from the PI, I'd pass. A friend bought the LC LM reps for his E90 3er and sold them at a later date. I warned him about the problems I had, and he never elaborated why he sold them. He later purchased an E90 M3 and bought real LMs, so there wasn't a problem with the look, so I surmise it was another reason.

I had some Rotas for my Z which I used for drag radials and they worked just fine. I'm not sure if I'd throw them on the Mercedes, but that's just me. People always talk trash about the brand but they're decent wheels for the price.

I love the look of those rims. Unfortunately I've heard too many horror stories about replica rims to put them on my car though. To each his own.
