  I'm pretty sure they are talking about steering wheels.not wheel wheels.

  Mark,

  I understand that the CLK use two sizes, the 16 and 17 inch.

  Is it the 7 or the 5 spoke.

    Graham: I swapped in the wheel from a 2001 CLK - it was a direct bolt on the wheel looks like is is original to the SEC.  The swap took my mechanic about 30 minutes.  Mark
