Ummmm, if the fronts are 9" wide and the rears are 9.5" wide, wouldnt that explain the weight different?!?!?!?!?!

As for them looking different, IDK

Your attention to detail leaves something to be desired. He is saying the rear wheels are different from each other and weigh differently. Nothing to do with the fronts. And look again at the pictures. You can clearly see that one wheel has a lip close to the inside of the wheel while the other is closer to the outside of the wheel.

Was just curious but what did AMG say when you told them you have two different type of rear rims?

Is it possible that majority of the CLK 63 BS that's being sold by the dealers has the same issue?
