Do a seatch on Ebay - www.ebay.de - look for alufelgen or felgen , the Germans have loads for sale and their posts, albeit generally in German, have additional useful info. (use http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr ) to translate. Many of them speak english if you send an email.
A bit of info about what model you have would be useful and maybe a picci.
I don't know what alloy wheels will fit other than the genuine Merc item (an understated but in my opinion quite stylish choice). I have often wondered if the wheels from an ML would fit as these would probably be a bit more industrial than any from a normal car or from an aftermarket supplier.
The critical issue here is to get a wheel (and tyre!) that is rated to an adequate load to match what you are replacing. If you were to use a lesser spec wheel you risk invalidating your insurance and breaking the construction and use regs. If you do go with an aftermarket choice, check and double check the load ratings as a wheel failure at speed when loaded (and probably while cornering) doesn't bear thinking about. I think it would be sensible to get a wheel that was approved by a standards institution, most people tend to rate the german TUV standard very highly?
Sorry I couldn't be more help but I have always stopped short of speccing such eye candy on what is essentialy a working commercial vehicle.
PS. you can post pictures in the owners gallery section and take a peek at the pic's of my green behemoth.
