In that case I'll pass on them - plus are the ones I am looking at the real deal
Plus these look good to me and possibly suit the car better
Thanks for all the comments
If they are genuine they are as useful as a chocolate teapot.Plus these look good to me and possibly suit the car better

I've never cracked or bent an alloy wheel in my life until I had my cls with those rims.
I've a full set of those rims that have multiple cracks and repairs by the previous owner and the latest set I'm using now about 18 months are starting to fail. I had to have one of my fronts welded last week and I suspect one of my rears is cracked due to slowly losing air pressure.

What a let down. I've a full set of those rims that have multiple cracks and repairs by the previous owner and the latest set I'm using now about 18 months are starting to fail.

Glad to have helped!
Not sure whether its the weight of the CLS and the high offsets of the rims (et25 front and et28 rear) which contribute to the damage or whether its simply the quality of the wheels. The first time i went in to the tyre depot thinking i had a slow puncture the guy said ill bet the rims cracked before i even take the wheel off. It seems its pretty common for BMW and Mercedes wheels to fail like this.
Coincidentally im going today to hopefully get a new set of wheel fitted to the car if they have come into stock.
They are similar in style to the AMG wheel with the concave wider rear.

Must admit they do look amazing on that era of SL. To my eyes the fussy design & more importantly the colour is completely at odds with the rest of the car, a discordant note that detracts from the classy smooth lines of the bodywork & the chrome detailing. Sorry but it screams home made DIY mod.
