Why don't you start, others may follow. They look pretty decent but I didn't read the specs on them nor did I check the price. But if they are what you want, why not?

It's a tad bit ricey for these cars, although they would look better on the coupe.
It's truly a matter of personal tastes. I think Enkei in general caters to more Japanese car manufactures. While for Mercedes, we have Brabus, Lorinser, Carlsson, etc.
By the way, in terms of Japanese wheels, so far I've only seen Enkeis on Mercedes. Seen several W210s with Enkeis on them.

Enkeis are pretty decent. But its not my style.
I think only AMG/BRABUS/CARLSSON/WALD/KLEENMAN/LORINSER/RENNTECH/ETC matches our cars...its just...when these brand rims are on our car, it just looks more "normal"
just like BBS rims on a Bimmer.

The rims are decent, as to why benz owners don't use them we don't know that they don't, but as stated it depends on one's preference some like painted rims some like silver, Hyper, and or chrome rims I say do what's best for you and your tatse at the end of the day your the one who has to live with it .................................................. .....................................
Good luck with your choice, what ever you decide enjoy them .............

Thank You for your posts. I have The OR 52s on my jetta and it looks great. I paid about 1200 for them with tires. I don,t know how to post pictures, but I think you guys would find it as a very good looking car.

Enkei are horrible wheels, if you're going to dish out money on a Mercedes, don't short yourself out by buying Enkeis, like someone said, they're made usually for Japanese vehicles. Enkei's however, are equal to replica wheels in terms of quality and build. Plus those designs won't really fit your car.
