Please help me pick between wheels...

I can't decide whether to go with Driv Mach 5's 18X7 or
Axis Muse 19x8.
Driv Mach 5 weight 34 pounds but in my opinion they look better
than Muse. I am not sure on about the weight on Muses, but it should be lighter, and they are 19's not 18's.
Also size tire should I stick with without rubbing?

Muse in 19x8

you should try and get at least a +45 offset for 8" wide wheels..
to have minimal rubbing..
As long as you don't get some fat donut tires, you shouldn't have to worry..

most people have:
18 - 225/40/18
but I'm not sure for 19.. but I think 235/35/19 would fit best..

I'm a fan of 18 inch wheels.. but not 18x7 and the Mach 5 seem like they belong on a truck rather than the smooth CLS..

good luck!

I have the Mach 5's on order.

I think you should go with them.


They are SWEEET looking.

I'l take some pics of the rim alone in about a week, which is when they should arrive.

are the muses not available in an 18"? i thought Xenex made a version of them and thought they were beautiful. i just don't want the hassel/risk associated with 19's (even tho they rock.)
