I had those exact wheels (MM11-2s) on my last car. I loved those wheels. The pictures don't do them justice. They are really striking in person. In addition to looking really good, they are very easy to keep clean. The dirt just wipes off them and of course there is plenty of room between the spokes to get in there to clean.

I highly recommend them.

I like them. IMO I think they look better than those really fancy aftermarket wheels.

Thanks a lot guys...i think ill buy em. They are 239 a piece at tirerack, but ill shop around...there are two stores near me, and ill play both sides and hook myself up with a deal. I love the look of the 5 spoke wheels. Im not a big fan of complex designs, such as BBS or SSR. They are great wheels, just not my cup of tea. Thanks for your help..one more thing, they have them in silver and white...what do you think will go with my red CLS?

Nirvanaib,i was on Tirerack.com a couple of weeks ago checkin out which wheels would look good on my CL-S.The Mille Miglia MM11-2 really caught my eye too.You can bring up our car on their site and see how the wheels look on them.I think they look awesome,the best of the 4 or 5 i was interested in.
Good luck,if you buy them try and post some pics.

Another nice thing about those wheels (from first-hand experience) is that they don't scratch easily like the CL-S wheels because the spokes are set back far enough into the wheel.

Mille Miglia's are kinda cheap/heavy rims. I think they are a private label of tire rack (someone said that once).

I don't pretend to know one way or the other but I do know that the Mille Miglia's are made in Italy. The name Mille Miglia comes from the name of a car race in Italy. With that information in mind I don't think they are a house brand.

What do I think of the rims? Check the sig. I would've rather gotten the SSR Integrals but they don't come in 18 inch. These are close enough though and I was able to get them for $220 each from Discount Tire (tires.com). The "closeup" picture really doesn't do it justice cuz I think they show a 15" rim, 17's and 18's will have longer spokes and look much better. I don't know how much they weigh but they gotta be less than the stocks.
