yeah i was and am still in the same position as you...except for me i decided to put an exhaust system on the car first...less thinking involved...
for wheels, i think its better to go for quality over looks...but still looks are always considered...if you could find a used wheel/tire package with a lot of tread left on the tires(75-100%) for a bombass price, you should really considering it..
for me, id say continuing researching (cuz i still am, and for the last 2-3 months!), and yeah take your time...im still deciding if i should put black wheels on my black c230 with tints!

well i was pretty sure that im going to buy brabus replicas (black 6spokes) or AMG 5twin spokes (black also), but seeing some "clean" look cars, ive decided to go for silver or gunMetal.... chek the w203 picture thread, ull find smthn u like for sure, it helped me a lot...
then i changed my mind from 5spokes to mesh style, then multispokes and now the vertinis... and so it goes... id give it 2 more weeks
about quality, i had in mind some ebay replicas, but some members of this foorum made me change my mind and i thank them for that !!
as for millenium by mandrus, its a company created by TSW which has a good reputation.... vertinis seem to be alright too as i read in some other forums (basically googled it)..

btw you should consider wheels with deep dish/lip. those add aggression to the car!

I think as long you lower/ slam (even better 
) you car, some decent wheels would look really fine on your car
I've seen some pics of Eurowheels on a W210 and it looks great! I know you'd need pics of the wheels on W203s for better ideas.
I've also noticed that Eurotech B reps don't look as nice as Moven B reps. It could be the big fat lip on the rears of B reps and the finish

are you sure of that? i had to deal with monet when i bought my moven wheels because right about that time was when the takeover was going on. or at least that's what they told me. i also sent emails to a moven account, but the reply was from monet. either way- it was a horrible ordeal. i waited several months for wheels, that they assured me would clear the calipers, tat cleary did not when they finally came in. on top of that- monet wouldn't let me return them since it wasn't their product- even though i talked to their tech support about fitment and ordering in the first place.

due to the jacked up way they handled my transaction- i wouldn't be suprised if they both tanked by now. it was unbelieveable.
kinda stinks that another decent company went down the crapper. i always thought moven had a descent following in the sport compact world.
