I highly recommend the 2000 CLK wheels, they are a forged alloy wheel (not cast) and are really easily cleaned, no paint to scratch but you have to watch who does the tire work on them, as a tire shop can scratch the coating, I believe it is a clear Anodized finish,
An important tip re: lug bolts.
The lug bolts specified for the special ET37 alloy CLK wheels are shorter than regular wheels. Lug bolts that go with steel wheels (MB spare optional wheels, not alloy wheels) are about 25mm/1 in long.
Love those CLK wheels!  |
The lugs needed for these wheels specifically are: 12mm x 1.50 thread 27mm shaft length, with cap covers 25mm w/o cap covers, this is important to note because later MBs also use a 14mm bolt of the same length and you need to stay with the 12mm OE size.
Also These Wheels are 1998 and I have seen 1999 CLK wheels, all the CLK lightweight wheels of
this style are Forged, it will be stamped into the tire valley of the wheel easy to see if no tires on. Worth noting, the OE bottlecap 15 in wheels weighed in at 16 lbs, these CLK weigh 14 lbs. not a huge gain, but much stronger and a bit lighter.
