which is better? thank you

i am currently looking foward to getting 18x8.5 rim for my 2001 c240
i have been looking around and i am sad to say my budget leaves me no choice but to chose between the vm6 ( velocity motoring) or one of the ruff racing rims.

i have been looking around and these are the ones that caught my eyes. usually replica's are not my way of doing things but i am forced to because i am a college student.

i know some people out there have got these rims. can someone give me feedback on which ones i should get. some pics if anyone have some

my c240 is brilliant silver and i was wondering if i should get the centered painted on the rims i get or not?

and i will get rid of these as soon as i graduate. so the replicas wont stay on there for long.

hopefully someone can help me decide which ones to get.

thank you mb enthusiast

I just installed Ruff Racing 279 (staggered 18x8.8/9.5 ET35) on my C320-Brilliant Silver. Sorry I don't have a pic available (I'm at work) but I'll post some when I have the opportunity in the Official gallery. I purchased the Ruff's after seeing MBDreamz' E500. Sorry for the big pics!!

I have the Hyper-Black on my Brilliant Silver C320....and yes I think it looks good. My wife says it makes the car look meaner/racier -all right by me!!

nlpamg: My car is a 2001. As much as I'd like it to......no, it doesn't have the BBK. Definately a future mod. I've only had the car since the beginning of the month, so I'll have to spread out the mods, making them as subtle as possible. Wife doesn't mind, but "all at once?"
