What wheels should I get?
I'm going to replace my stock wheels with something bigger, around 17" or 18". What wheels do you all think I should get for my car? I like the amg 5-spokes, amg monoblock ii's, lorinser lm5 replicas, and those stock slk wheels in the sport package, I dont have a pic of them, but I know someone here does 
AMG 5-Spokes
AMG Monoblock II's
Lorinser LM5 Replicas
OEM SLK Sport Wheels

Everyone knows the monoblocks will look good, because we have seen many W202's with monoblocks. So if you get the monoblocks then they will look good. But if you get the LM5's makes your car a little different. So its up to you. You can be daring and get the LM5's or just know you wan tto look good and get the mono's.

LM5's
I agree... get LM5's! You've seen monoblock IIs on many w202, and you saw mine w/ SLKs (page 10 of the picture thread). Be BOLD, be different- just don't fix it up like a HONDA!

I'm trying to decide if I want those ADR's or not. There is a guy that lives next to me with a Lexus GS400 with those in 20" and it looks really good. Do you all think it will be kind of thugish?

Yeah, I guess. I found some 18 by 8.5 monoblocks that I like. Too bad they are too wide. I do kind of want AMG wheels so it will match the AMG kit. Right now my car is just all mixed and matched. I guess I'll keep looking. Oh yeah, about tires, again, Have any of you tried Goodyear F1 GS-D3? They seem to be a really sharp tire. They just came out too.

I want it all to match. I'm getting the AMG kit for $550 shipped to my door. It's made in India. I just hope it fits as good as the guy promises. I'd get wald but they don't make wheels or anything do they? How much is one of their kits? What does it look like? Is that what MBKid has?

Sometimes I'm too lazy to search. Thanks for the website though. I don't plan on the kit bolting straight on. I have allready expected the worse. I'll let you know how it is once I get it. (Hopefully by the end of June)
So when you say "werd up" does that mean you agree?
