Cool What's the best rims you've seen?

Hello people!

I need help to decide whether keep the factory rims and paint them and add center caps to them (something like: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/SET-OF-4-X-BL...5XUMG4&vxp=mtr)

Or buy new rims?
I got a c300 2011 platinum black, I'm kinda on a budget so that's why I'm open to suggestions, I don't want to waste money on paint and center caps if new set of rims look 5000 times better.
What are some of the best looking rims you guys have seen?

Thanks!

Looks neat man, reason I might paint them is that I will be painting my bumper (bought the car used and it had a few scratches) so ima have them paint the rims while they doing the bumper.
I like the caps!
May I ask what are those red thingies inside the wheels (I'm pretty new as you can tell LOL)

Those red thingies are brake calipers lolol; you must have experience with disc brakes then if you don't recognize them :0 I painted them red.

Some one is selling AMG wheels for a good price, I have them and it looks real good. Get lots of compliments and my car is black as well. If I could put fatter tires I'd want to buy them for track tires.
