My CLK (German-made wheels are 16x7" and ET 37, but haven't fitted them to tires or the hubs yet. 13#, but need bolt hole drillin but the center hub is plenty big. Gave $70/wheel for them on ebay. They're not totally cherry, but I didn't need cherry. I needed 16" and 5x112; the rest was icing on the cake. They don't look bad either. I had a set of 16"x7"Chinese wheels for a CLK from Tire Rack for like $88 ea. but my local tire guru said to send them back and find some German stuff. Sometimes I do as I'm told.
