Those are just the modern 1990+ OEM wheels.
There are a whole bunch more for the older models.

Hi Saprissa,
Nice post. I think you maybe the person I am looking for. I am in Australia and wish to put I my CLK AMG 2005 19" rims, 8.5 front & 9.5 rear. I have been asked for the offset in degrees for the rims which I have been told is 37 degrees for the front & 30 degrees for the rear. Can you confirm if this is correct for 19" rims on this car. Your help or any other person reading this thread would be great because these rims have to be imported and if they don't fit I will not be able to send them back.
Thanks
Robertus

Those wheels are all named for stars. Most stars have Arabic names, since the Arabs were the great scientists and mathematicians during the European Middle Ages. The "al" in Alphard or Almaaz is the same as the "al" in "algebra" or "al qaeda."
A friend is putting Alphards on his SL55 tomorrow. He pronounced it "alp hard," but it's "al fard." It's the brightest star in the constellation Hydra and means "the solitary one."

You can go to a dealer parts department and get a wheel catalog that shows all this.
"Alphabetic" is a rather useless sort criteria, as within "A" for example are wheels that fit E-class but not C-class, etc.
