Man, summer is going fast. You'd better choose soon or it'll be fall by the time you get new wheels!
I know I'm in the minority here, but of all the options mentioned, the stock wheels are the best. After seeing all the aftermarket options and chops (and I must say, we have some talented Photoshoppers here, you guys are awesome!) the best-looking aftermarket option for you was the CV2s......
However, those TSWs you posted above are great-looking. Then again, I am partial to 5-spoke wheels so I show some bias there.

Just read through the whole thread. I'm so glad you made the decision you did! I was like "double Y's, no no no no! Mesh Nooooooooooooooo! Oh Thank god- split 5-spoke.
It's just the car, the others looked weird, just didnt fit, this fits.
Good choice!

Man this is so frustrating.
Called 4 local TSW dealers. One never even heard of this model. One "sort of carries TSW". Other two I asked about test fitting and they said well order them and we'll "figure something out".
I'm not shelling out $2000 to "figure something out"

Wow, pretty crappy customer service.
As for the one that "sort of carries TSW", you can't always trust the dealer lists on companies' websites. I went to a place yesterday that was listed on the Echo site as being a dealer. I get there and all they have is Stihl; they stopped carrying Echo sometime last year.

Thank you sir. Keep going back to the stock wheels. Not feeling the lip on those now that I see them.
I need to find these monoblock ones.

I'm not that big a fan of them. My neighbor has a 2009 S550 with Vossens and while the car looks incredibly clean (he does the wheels just about every day) it also does not look like something I'd drive.
I'd keep the stock wheels over any of your previous options to be honest. I don't think they're good enough to justify the expense.

That thread that I saw your comment in is full of some truly tacky and hideous shit. Why would someone spend that kind of money on a car and then put crappy Pep Boys wheels on it?

Another vote for stock here. The stock R-Spec wheels are pretty nice.

stock + spacers + Lowering > any of the wheels you have posted so far.
