I have them in the exactly same size on my C36AMG (With tires: 225-40-ZR18). However none chrome-plated. I love that old AMG Design very much. Price is a bargain in that described shape and according to the picture, you pay the same for used, non-plated wheels in "average" condition on german ebay.
My question would be just, aren't they to small for the 500E?

Hey Jono,
I don't think I have centercaps for them. I believe there are some still available but not cheap. Saw some in Milwaukee on eBay the other day.
Are they 60mm instead of 75mm?
I have a set of Penta's that have the old style centercap and it is smaller than the caps on my newer AMG rims on my CLK55.
I will venture to the warehouse and dig them out.

Jono has caps, give him a call if you need some.
Furthermore, is this rim even compatible with a 500E? Isn't its centerbore (using 60mm centercap) too small for the 500E hub?
Yes - the bore on the back side (which contacts the hub/rotor) will be the correct 66.7mm diameter. Only the front center cap bore is smaller than the usual MB size (not sure the diameter) so the standard caps won't fit. I think. Jono can verify this...
I believe Talbir was able to fit a set of these AMG Aero Is on one of his 500Es. I recall seeing photos he posted of said wheels on his car, but I think that was on the late 500Ecstasy.com....
In fact, he OWES me those wheels as payment for a steering wheel I sent him about 2 years ago. I need to collect my debt....

So to possibly sell these to an E500E owner, it might make sense for Darkstar to verify the actual rear bore diameter & depth. Hmm? :clapper:
The standard E500E cap definitely does not fit these wheels. The proper caps can readily be purchased on-line.
