CLK wheels

the mercedes Bling centercaps fit in the front without mods

to run MercBlingCaps in the rear, you need a 10mm spacer on each side, about 100 bucks, from Loogy.

or you can run with no spacers by buying Loogys centercaps, for about 100 bucks.

You probably need to check with Loogy about stud lengths to run his Chrome Capped MercBlingLugNuts.

I've been using this version of CLK wheels over the last 10 years or so on three different vans( 2 Syncros and 1 Weeekender poptop).
They used to come up quite often on Ebay in very nice condition for around $300 for a set. Back then they were fairly recent take offs for bigger wheels on the "Benz".
I looked for a while recently for my latest project, but could not find a perfect enough set. They all had one form of another of curb rash or the clear coat was compromised.
There were some available from wheel refinishers for around $200 each. My experience with refurbished wheels has not been good. They looked good, but had been bent and not totally trued.
I bought a set of 'NEW" CLK wheels from Mercedes for $1000...discounted from $1200. I like them that much!

These are the ones that you want- a full set of 5 at that! Maybe someone on the east bay can pick them up for you. BLING!

They were on a mercedes CLK for like 3 or 4 years so I am not surprised that you are striking out on finding the style that you are looking for.

Every rim that I have bought from back east was messed up from corrosion. Make sure that you get lots of pictures, including the back. Rust free and perfect have a different meaning in the east. Shocked

Good luck.

Sweet!

If the rims check out all we need to figure out is the TS Logo

shuttle service to get them into the PDX area.

I'm looking for two more for spares if anyone else wants to split a set in the SF area.

Hey does anyone have any advice on a good way to strip the peeling/chipping clear coat off these wheels?

wire wheel cleaner and a pressure washer with hot water.
