So it's snowed again and I've still got S03s. I've decided enough is enough and I'm going to buy a new set of alloys. The intention is to put winter tyres on my original 16" 5 spoke wheels and buy a new set of 17" alloys for summer. I got the Mercedes wheel catalogue and noticed that the wheel pattern I have at the moment (Adharaz, they seem to call it) is available in 17", but they say it only fits the new CLK not the SLK. This is a bit odd, since the specs look very similar to the wheels that do fit the SLK, i.e. the CLK wheels are
7.5JX17 ET36 and 8.5JX17 ET30
The wheels that fit the SLK are
7.5JX17 ET37 (or ET35) and 8.5JX17 ET30.
So I'm pretty sure they should fit (and I did a search and pulled up a post by Brian that said that new CLK wheels will fit the SLK), but why do Mercedes say different. I want to go for the 17" wheels because they're £20 cheaper per rim (???)
