Upgrading my clk alloys

[Telsin]

Hi all, I'm thinking of upgrading my clk w209 2004 standard 16inch for 18"*AMG*III, I believe that these are fitted to the newer amg clk models. Would this be a straight swap or would I need new locking nuts or spacers etc

any advise appreciated, thanks

Fit a set of SL AMG alloys as they give the 209 shape a fatter stance as below on my old 500.. All you will need is new bolts

Very nice although I really fancy the newer style amg III, will I not be able to use my existing bolts and locking nuts

Not if you buy SL wheels.... The later CLK wheels will go straight on with existing bolts etc...

Thanks baldguy, so if I purchased the above 18s it's just a sraight swap no new bolts etc
