What Wheels Are On This Car?
Please . . can anyone identify the wheels pictured on this car? 
Are they genuine 'AMG' wheels or just a cheap copy?
What MBZ are they standard equipment on IF they are indeed genuine?
Scroll to picture number seven of nine for a good shot of the wheel.
They are 18 inches and have Dunlops mounted.

Thanks in advance.

If you are looking for them on your car make sure of the width and offsets.That style per above post came on several amgs and some had offsets not spec for other models.

Thanks . .
To everyone who responded, 
My reason for asking is that I do not want to buy this car unless I know for a fact that those wheels are indeed genuine AMG wheels and even then, I am not sure, thinking it might be better that I insist that the dealer install the original size factory 16s in place of those 18 inch wheels which do not come as standard equipment or were not even available as an option.
There is after all a reason that this car came standard with 225/55-16s, that reason being that the
E-320 CDI is an economy car and those 245/40-18s will take fuel economy away
because the 18 inchers are not only heavier but have a wider footprint.
Comments appreciated.

Never Mind . .
I answered the question by going to the Tirerack site as suggested and here's what appeared:

I did not know that anyone would use the AMG logo on their wheel without permission.
Oh well . . I do live and learn.
I shall ask the MBZ dealer to take those supposedly AMG wheels off and put some
genuine stock E-320 16 inch wheels on as part of the deal or there won't be any deal!
