Which wheels for my C320?
Ok just trying to decide on a wheel to get. I've set a budget for myself and it looks like when all is said and done, I will have gone over it by quite a bit.
So... here are some wheels I'm kinda set on. Don't really want to spend more than $3k on wheels + tires.
#1 - I like these, but seems most tell me to choose #2 over this one.
#2 - nice looking, but damn it, every Joe, Dick, and Harry has them.
#3 - seems nice, but since there are no replicas, I'd have to buy the real thing, which means more $$.
Here's a link to more pics of this wheel:

Comon guys and gals and even post ******... help me pick one.

Oggle,
I suggested #2. I'm with lhoang(sp?) here and also got those myself. You can get them as replicas. They are good quality IMHO. That leaves you extra for tires and / or other mods you may want in the future.

I like number one but it looks like I may be in the minority. I also like number 2 but I do not like the tint on that car, which is why I may not like those wheels as much. Number 3 I can not see well enough to judge. What size are you going to get 18"?

I like them all, but I voted for number 1, looks like I'm alone so far. There are nice even though that front one looks huge in that picture.
Number 2 I like even though I usually hate an even number of spokes. But if a lot of people in your area have them, then I wouldn't get them.
Number 3 looks nice as well, but not a good enough shot to see how they really look.

I like #2 as well, but I too could do without the mirror tint! Looks more at home to me on a beat up old Nissan Altima with a giant double wing than on a beautiful Benz! =)

If you can afford them, get the multipiece Brabus Monoblock VI wheels. Even if you don't get multipiece, the one piece Monoblocks are still pretty clean and a hell lot cheaper.

Wow, those #3's look good on black. Your car is black, right? I'm changing my vote to #3. It sounds like you like them too since you've been looking at all these other pictures. I say get them.

Dont get #2.... cuz i have #2... then more poeple will have #2 
true that most people who have #2 are replicas... you said that your budget is $3k... the #2 rims + tires cost a bit over 5Gs... if you want the MB VI for 3k, you would have to buy them in 18 and one piece.
