no one... your cheapest alternative is to buy wheels you like, and have the centers painted black by a shop...

yeah, it's like half the price of the real BBS wheels. ~$300 per wheel

WheelMax has some nice looking ones, but most of them have small width (7.5 for 18 is small in my opionion)

Exel - E-2 (Hyper Silver) 18x7.5 $1050 for all 4 with tires (225/40/18 or 215/35/18)


Exel - TZ-16 (Gunmetal) 18x7.5 $899 for all 4 with tires (225/40/18 or 215/35/18)


list goes on and on with styles, but the above two are best for dark center styles.

If you want wider rim, but not black center (my favorite) on their site:

A.Z.A. - Z-2 (Hyper Silver) (2) 18x8.5 (2) 18x9.5 $1499 (235/40/18 front & 265/35/18 rear)

that's a good deal, but yeah, I agree, 7.5 is way too narrow imho.

I had the excel E-2's on my old jetta:



18x7.5 they were ok. to narrow for the benz. the picture on wheelmax's site is a bit missleading though. the lip in there pic looks a lot bigger then it realy is. and the mesh pops out more.

still nice wheels for the price.
