AMG 15x7 w/ 25mm offset???

I'm looking for 15x7 AMG monoblock style wheels made for C-class. I'd love to put them on my 300D but the 37mm offset may wear out my bearings faster than I'd like with the needed spacers for my 30mm offset. I found some 15x7 AMG monoblock style on Ebay Germany with a 25mm offset??? They look awesome IMHO and the design is slightly different than the other AMG monoblocks because the spaces are smaller, which I like better. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280042385101&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=018
Does a 25mm offset exist for this style wheel? If so, it would be perfect to have no spacers and I'd be willing to wait for the right set to come along. I won't have enough funds for another month or two so I'm just looking for any details for right now...
Thanks...

First of all, the ebay seller only has 2 of these wheels.
Secondly, he points out, the wheels have " severe " marks on them as well as corrosion.
You may want to reconsider this deal.
Btw. installing 7 or 10 mm spacers will not place a great deal of strain on your wheel bearings.
Why don't you take a look here:

Thanks for the website. I noticed of course the rough shape of both wheels and he even specifies oxidation On closer inspection, (although my German is rusty) I'm pretty sure he writes 25mm with spacers. Anyway, I find the design great, that's what attracted me to them although I'm certainly not considering those wheels specifically for purchase. The standard C-class 7Jx15" AMG aero monoblock (II?) styles don't have the same exact design, their rim 'spaces' (holes?) are larger than the German ebay example, if you look closely. Although they are probably labled the same, I'll bet they have different #'s. I checked the above mentioned site and it has the 7Jx15" AMG monoblocks which aren't like the ebay German examples I'm after. Any idea what I'm looking at here
Before I start sounding too selfish, thanks again for your time and help
