What aftermarket wheel options are out there for the W209 CLK55? I've been told that there really aren't many wheels that will fit w/out spacers b/c the front brake calipers are so big they'll hit the spokes. I love the Zauber Gettin wheels, but they won't fit w/out a 10 mm spacer. I've also been told that the Brabus, and Lorinser wheels won't work w/out spacers either. No way am I putting spacers on there, opens up too many potential problems. I know I can get HRE 540R series custom built to to fit, but I want to know if there are any other options out there? Is the '04 CLK55 just too new for the companies to have proper offsets/fitments for it? Should I wait a while? I like the styles with a nice size lip on them BTW. Where should I be looking? Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

uh... what makes you think spacers will cause problems?

Well, if I were to choose between spacers and no spacers, I would definitely choose no spacers.

Ordinary spacers are not very good because only 1 or 2 companies make good spacers. However, hub-centric spacers are much better.

345mm rotors and four piston calipers do make fitment rather difficult
