Not happy with the choice. So I will be getting new ones soon. Definitely 20" Asanti's. 19's are too small for this car.You have to go 3 piece with this car so the spokes are flat. The curved spokes to cheat the lip just aren't very appealing at all.

Are those Vertini rims? They don't look bad, but they do look very small on the car.

not a fan of the rims either, it looks like they designed it from tree branches. maybe something you would find in garden furniture.

wasnt trying to make you feel bad, i just want you to get the Asanti rims and not think twice about it they would looks SICK on your car! My friend has a set on his 5 series and they look great. they're very sturdy too, he has driven over numerous potholes on the freeway, like so hard it makes a fat THUD sound and you would expect the rims to be bent, but when we check them out, they're still in perfect condition. I would get a set myself but they're too expensive.

To me, when I purchased rims is just like getting me a pair of shoes, I have to try them on.

Yeah, sorry -- not feeling these rims. Granted, I've always preferred a nice stock-looking car. You know what would be hot? Old school/style AMG rims! Hopefully you know which ones I'm talking about... 1998-2003 style...

I agree, I find the best looking wheels to be the optional 18" AMGs for the 204 Sport models, and for $1k upcharge, they are an amazing deal.
