2004 CLK320
Can't get a straight answer from Tirerack...

According to the Tirerack web site (see below link for a 2004 CLK320), there are 2 columns of prices for those AMG 5-spoke 203 wheels:
1. F:229, R:379
2. F:229, R:219

I called Tirerack twice about this. In the first time, a guy told me that the more expensive one was chrome finished. I called the second time, another guy told me that it's a typo. How can a typo be there for a few months?

Over in the CLK (209) forum, someone mentioned that these 203 wheels from Tirerack had dull finish as opposed to those polish ones came with the CLK500. Is it possible that Tirerack actually sells 2 versions of the AMG 5_spoke with different finishes?

So, the brilliant silver one are probably the poilshed ones which come with the 2004 CLK500.

Thanks, Luke.

Let me get this clear: The OE wheels for 2004 CLK500 are brilliant silver, right?

So, I guess the brillant silver ones are the more expensive ones. According to the tirerack website, only the rear are more expensive.
