#1 looks awful.

For me it would be #6. Love that setup.

#3 or #8 I think would look the best on your car. I don't like the HEAVY look of the AMG wheels.

If not, then get #4

#3 is ugly
#4,5,6 look like 1,2
7 is nice but the darker 8 is best.

guys Ive negotiated these wheels for the car....Im about to finalize the deal.

tell me if this is a good look now keep in mind Im in NY pothole central so 18" sounds very reasonable.

this pic is a clk55 and is not dropped so they will look better on mine

this is the pic of the actual wheels on the guys car so it will look exactly the same

Im torn because I really, really, really want 19" but my common sense tells me to get 18"s.

The wheels in the pic are HRE 547 in 18x 8.5 front and 18 x 9.5 rear. The wheels are 3 pc. wheel and are forged. The wheels brand new are $1060 for the fronts and rears $1120 for the rears....and since they are high polished aluminum they are $157 more per wheel.

all in all the guy who bought these wheels spent $6K on the wheels and selling for a great price. Im even starting to think they arent real

Cant you find some nice 14" steel wheels?

If you get sick of the black steel look you can always get some plastic spinner covers for them.

I don't mean to be a tease, but i just ordered a shit load of sets of this design i did in 3-piece for various cars including the clk. they'll be in all chrome and black face with a chrome lip... I get the prototype in one week and the production pieces in 1.5 months after that...
