I might have a rear alloy in the loft. I am away with work atm, home on the 20th. I will have a look for you when I get back & let you know.

Little bit concerned about that wheel on eBay, which says 30/255 in the listing but the image doesn't agree:

Yes, I agree. They might have the wrong photo, but....

Very shiny, but can you imagine keeping that clean!

Same as my taxi Jon. Looks great when clean, next day, covered in dust.
The only thing stopping me actively looking to buy is the black interior.
After the light grey in my E63, I want that or cream in my next car.
I've had enough of black.

Total failure on my part to find a fourth alloy that’s not already cracked. I never thought it would be this hard.

Or, I could maybe look at W205 C63 wheels, which do seem to be available uncracked.

They fit and look very nice too, I had them on my S204 for a while. Only got rid as the fronts stick out 13.35mm more than stock and it did dull the steering a bit. I managed to find some genuine 507 forged wheels to replace them with but they are uber rare not attached to a 507 car.
Just watch out you don't buy the coupe version of the wheels as they are wider and even lower front offset.

I'm hoping that GillyC63 is going to find a rear in their loft and this will all be a problem of the past, at which I'll breath a huge sigh of relief - but I can't help fretting about it/trying to find something that will mean I can actually drive the car next month.

I have got the alloy out of the loft, there appears to be no cracks in it. I can't tell if it's had a refurb before but if you email me, I will add the photos I have taken of it. I would post them on here but it keeps saying the pics are too big from my phone. If it's of any use to you all you need to pay is postage or get it picked up, I don't want any money for it.

Thanks! I have PM’d you.
In C63 related news- I contacted Lockton (who insured my E63 for ~£600) for a quote on the C63 and they came back with £2,000, no discount possible.
Does the MB UK membership insurance give a decent price for these cars? I’m a member but have never tried it/don’t know how to try it.
