2004 C230 Kompressor Sport sedan 6 speed manual, 2013 S550 Sport 20" AMG
Thanks guys. The Enkei's are ultra light (<20lbs.), clear the Sport calipers, and are modestly priced. I highly recommend them. The Michelin Pilot Super Sports too. They are priced better than the PS2's and get noticeably sticky once they're warm. Supposedly last longer too, but we'll see...

I love the look of those wheels, and was about to buy them, but the guy at the wheel shop said they are soft and prone to bending.

So far (1+ yr.) no trouble out of them. I do live in a more rural area with good roads, so they might not be the best choice for urban or winter-weathered roads. 18" tires give you a little more protection than 19's. Check out http://www.enkei.com/pf01.html or talk to King at Enkei HQ.

The wheels are 18x8.5 ET32 (front) and 18x10 ET36 (rear). I did not specify any offset to forgestar, simply said that I wanted the wheels to sit as flush to the fender while staying within the warranty limits of the wheel. They could have given me an offset to stick the wheel farther out, but they would not have issued me a warranty.
