Cant decide which wheels!?!?
I just wanna see people's opinions on these wheels.
I already bought this first set of wheels but havent bought tires for them yet, theyre oem off of an sl500, theyre in good condition.
Now the question is, should i just keep this set of used wheels or sell them and buy one of the other sets on this list which would all be brand new?
Theyre all 18" x 8.5, 9.5
Keep in mind my car is silver, Ive always believed different wheels go well with different colors... appreciate the help

I say D (because I just bought a set kind of like them - but 1 piece). I'd have to say that they're my favorite out of the one's you've got listed.

That's easy. Since I don't like MB wheels or reps, I'd say pic the lightest, which is my usual answer on these kind of threads.
I'm curious why you're looking for something a little more outside the AMG arena?
Even for a Benz, there are tons of aftermarket rims that you might like better. A nice pair of Work rims is always a good option.

You need your own center caps for the first one though.

Will the offsets for the first wheels work on our car? The second doesn't even list offsets.

Wait, theres this other site, where those pics are from.
These are all reps, but they look good.
http://www.oemwheelsplus.com/mercede...18-wheels.html
As far as the size, either 18x8.5, 9.5 F&r.
These also look good, but im not sure if 19's are too big.

I had these SL63 style wheels on my C last year. Sold my car and still have a perfect set available with tires. I have a buyer coming to pick these up tomorrow but you can see how they look on my sig and link to the wheels below. I paid over $1200 just for the wheels when they first came out. price definitely dropped.
