Luke - Tire Rack list two "5-Spoke 215" Wheels?
Luke, this is a pic of the new OEM AMG wheel from the 2003 CL55 and S55. The new sizes are 18X8.5 and 18X9.0. This wheel picture does not appear to have a machine lip but just completely silver. Notice how the spokes run to the outer edge of the rim and it has no 'real' lip:
TireRack's listing shows the above 'new' sizes as "Silver w/Machine Lip". Is this the same rim as pictured. (It also lists them in 19X8.5 and 19X9.5.)
The other 215 5-Spoke lists "Bright Silver Paint" only in 19X8.5 and 19X9.5.
Is there a mixup? I thought the older 215 5-Spoke (only in 19") had the "machined or polished lip" and the newer 215 wheel was just all silver like this picture?
