Need your opinion

I've been shopping for wheels and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
I found these. What do you think?
The first and second are 18" package with Nitto NeoGen tires for $1500 or Pirelli P-Zeros for $1700.
The third is $1100 for 17" with new tires.

After seeing in person the multispoke on the C63 i was in love with them.
But prepare yourself for 10 minutes cleaning per wheel when they are dirty.
The impression they produce when they are rolling its fantastic(rolling backwards).
I think 18i. 19i will make the car too stiff.(it depends the roads you are driving).
check photo on (ce exo goes munich) thread.
