Cheap wheels for drag radials?

What cheap wheels are people getting to put DRs on their '12 CLS? I was going replace the stock Conti 5P with Pilot Super Sports, but thinking might as well just go all the way if I'm going to the track. How small can I go that will fit over the calipers? I don't ever buy aftermarket rims so I'm a noob at shopping for wheels.

Thanks. I'll give them a try. I wonder if a 16" rim will fit over the brakes. That seems to be what all the E55 guys are using. I also asked Renntech what setup they're using on their tuned CLS.

Renntech has been using an 18x10 rim with 315/30/18 Hoosiers fyi.
Stock offset is 47 and they're also 10 inch width rims. If I'm running a 315 wide tire would I need to move the offset closer to the suspension to keep it from rubbing the fenders do you think? What offset do you think would be best?

I found some Falken RT-6 wheels in 18x10.5 et 45. They're only $200 each. You think those would be ok?
