C43 with Black Wheels?

[DRIVER200]

Notice an ex-demonstrator C43 AMG Estate for sale on Autotrader has Black wheels which are not a standard option from new. Do you think the dealership would have put 'Special wheels' on their own car?

I was trying desperately to get the C63 black wheels (can't remember which ones) on mine and they wouldn't budge.

Maybe the originals were damaged? Are the black wheel MB original?

The C63 AMG black wheels unfortunately don't fit the C43, different offsets.

C43 multi-spokes:
Front - AMG multi-spoke wheel 7.5 J x 19 ET 44
Rear - AMG multi-spoke wheel 8.5 J x 19 ET 52

C63 AMG:
Front - AMG forged in cross-spoke design 8.5 J x 19 ET 38
Rear - AMG forged in cross-spoke design 9.5 J x 19 ET 56


We are thinking about having our multi-spoke wheels on our C43 painted gloss black.

Assume they are MB as this is a demonstrator car so has always been with the dealership so based on what's been said above they must have either changed them or painted them!! Lot of work for what I wonder?
