mekantor: Unfortunately we don't powdercoat or paint wheels cause we don't want to compromise the factory finish as we would no longer be able to offer the warranty we normally do.

Some excellent questions.
We have visited many factories with various degrees of quality that we rejected right off the bat. We work with the best one that has all the production controls in place to ensure consistent wheels. They make wheels for Honda, GM and VW, so all our wheels use the same low pressure casting process.
All of them have clear coat on them to protect them from the road grime and brake dust. We have NEVER had an issue with our wheels. In fact we are so confident they will last we offer unlimited warranty for manufacturing defects and two year on the finish. It is hard to objectively offer any more on something that is so susceptible to outside elements that it would make it virtually impossible to prove any finish etching was not due to user neglect.
In addition, it is our responsibility to ensure fitment on your car. If for ANY reason the wheels don't work for you we will not only give you 100% refund including shipping, but we will also pay for the shipping back to us.
As you can understand we wouldn't offer such generous terms if we were not confident in our wheels. We try to offer the same service we would expect to receive as customers, it really is as simple as that :-)
Thanks,

What does the warranty include? If the wheels were to be powdercoated elsewhere, would that void the warranty?

To clarify, the warranty covers to thing:
1. Finish, two years. If the wheels are powder coated the paint and clear coat are obviously not the way it came from the factory so if the shop that coated them didn't do a good job you will have to take it back to them.
2. Manufacturing defects, if the wheels arrive with scratches, gouges or anything that should not be there, we will absolutely replace them no questions asked. Just a background piece of information, the wheels go through x-ray at the factory to ensure there are no hairline cracks, air pockets or anything that would compromise the structural integrity of the wheel.
The wheels are about 31 front and 33 rear, same as OEM as they come out of the same process, low pressure casting and they use the same amount of metal.
Regarding offset, EFX is correct, the lower it is, the farther out the wheels will sit. The SL is the only MB platform that has an offset around 20mm, so customers that bought these had to use spacers to push them out and clear their brakes.
These will also fit the R & M class.
They WILL fit the C32, but you might have to use spacers in the front to clear your brakes that's all.
Happy Mothers day to All

R230 SL 18" 35MM F 40MM R (My SL now 20" 25mm F 30mm R way to aggressive for the S500 )
R230 SL55 18" 31MMF 33MM R
CLS 18" 25MM F 28MM R
I actually like the CLS off set on the SL and that is what i use , for example I had the SL Launch edition wheels on my S500 18" 35MM F 40MM R with no problem , but the CLS 25MM F 28MM R it stuck out and rub the rear fender .

m4xm1l10n: I see, thanks for shedding some light on this. From what you mention:
The S class is all good
Regarding the SL, our information was obsolete as for the R129 one would indeed need spacers as the offset is around 25mm. The R230 I see has less aggressive offset, that's great.
We know for a fact that the 35mm will fit the E class with the AMG brakes which has 30mm offset without rubbing on anything. They will be 5mm recessed though, not a big del, as it will be barely visible.
Didn't realize that the CLS has such an aggressive offset!
Thanks again for the info!
jturkel: I actually did respond to your question it was in the middle of the post, buried in the middle, the wheels are about 31lbs front and 33 lbs rear, same as OEM as they come out of the same process, low pressure casting and they use the same amount of metal.
Thanks guys!

07e350: Unfortunately I have not been able to find one online of the SL63 wheels on an E class and we have not received one from our customers.
jturkel: No worries

Correction, Drove An '05 C230 Kompressor SS
So these are staggered? Is there any way you can post pics of the 19.8.5 & 19x9.5 next to each other? So we can see the Concave difference.
Thanks in Advance.
BTW: So It's $699 + $85shipped?

Outkasted24: Thanks for your interest, actually we are out of the 19s on this style.
We do have them in 18s, I will take pictures tomorrow and post them to show the concavity difference.
Hi Gondon,
Unfortunately we only have them in 18x8.5 non staggered and the finish is silver with machined lip:
Thanks,
Vassili

Post when you have tried these in 19" staggered on a R230 SL. i guess they will not stick out enough to work on the Newer SL?
