Savini SV1 or SV6 for Brilliant Silver C55

I replaced my Brilliant Silver C55 stock to AMG 5-spoke 171 , 18", 2 mths back. The color of 171 is called Sterling Silver. It's color tone is too close to the Brilliant Silver and hardly have much contrast. I am sure 171 looks great on a black carbut not on the brilliant silver . Now, I am planning my next rims and they have got to be 19". Searched Tire rack and the Forged Savini looks impressive. I picked two and need your comments. Below showing the current 171 and the Savini's SV1 and SV6.

depends on the weather
I like the SV1's better ....

the appearance of those two wheels makes me think of it like this

SV1 looks more sporty

SV6 looks more luxury cruiser

Chrome on an MB - yech!!! But if you're gonna do it....the first pic is the way to go, unless you want the 'gangsta' look. The chrome is what you see in all the downtown areas I avoid at night

You do of course understand that there are no zoning restrictions on crime.

I like the SV3, classic five spoke design.

OZ for C32, CLK55, C55 ?

Based on the information of the oz prestige rims namely Canyon 2 Patent Lip. I believe , at least for 18", C32 W203 and CLK55 W209 can share the same rims. Thus, it makes me to believe that C55 can use 19" rims which fit the CLK55 AMG W209. Here are some info.
