Try here for AMG 18" Double Spokes...

www.statusimports.com,

I picked this up off of the W203 forum. Someone just purchased a set from them and posted up pics as well.

Good Luck

There are quite a few 20" rims that will fit that car...Lorinser LM5 and LM6, Brabus Monoblock VI, Kleemann TM5, HRE (any style - custom), Auto Couture Supreme 3pc and Maginifique, just to name a few.

You can fit 20" on the CL/S cars without any problems if the correct tire size and offsets are used.

What style wheels are you looking for, and what is your budget? That will help decide what you can get.

For example - HRE 547R, satin silver, 20x8.5 F and 20x9.5 R
