I have a 2005 silver C320 4 matic. I have decided on the ASA 17" wheels that look like the AMG style. My final decision before I order is silver wheels or chrome? What does everyone think would look the best? I want the car to look good and sporty, but not to ghetto.

Chrome it up buddy, it makes your car look classy especially that style. If it were another style, I would say no, but that classic amg style in chrome is timeless.

17 is too small. Go for 18. It will make the car a LOT nicer. My vote goes to silver. The only good-looking chrome rims I've seen are Carlsson Ultra-lights.

The Carlsson 1/16 Ultralight are NOT chromed, the are forged and extremely well polished causing a kind of "chrome-look"...but in fact they are not chromed!

Simply said: they offer the highest quality you can get for your money!

You're right, they aren't chrome. Only"chrome-looking". It was carelessness on my part. Let me rephrase my point:

The only "chrome-looking" wheels that look good are Carlsson Ultra-lights. And they aren't even chrome! Hence, as I originally said, go with silver
