Wheel Question

I've had the car for a week now, and I love it. I promised myself that I'd wait at least a few months before doing any mods. But I've convinced myself that wheels really aren't considered a mod! So, now I want some wheels. Can someone suggest some really nice wheels that I can use the same stock tires with and not need any work to be done to the car? Basically, just removing the tires off the stock rims and putting them on the new rims then right on the car. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Rick

I just seen a cls63 with amg wheels in chrome WOW, it did look nice.
I priced some Carlsson 20in. UL Wheels and they're asking $7,500 brand new in the box. The price seems a little steep but they are nice.
I'll probably be going with the HRE's or the Giovanni's, so far I liked these two the best.
I'm not in a big rush. Hopefully by the end of the month, new wheels will be on my ride.

I really like the AMG wheels that come with the performance package. I think those would have been my first choice, but convenience and price led me to a very different set. Not 100% sure they're right for me, but they do the job for now. They are 20x9 and 20x11. I was a little skeptical that they would fit under the fenders, but they seem to be doing fine.

They certainly seemed heavy to me. I thought it was just their diameter. But they are supposed to be 3 piece, forged rims with cast centers.

I would have gotten black if I ordered new myself, but I got a pretty good deal on these from a guy taking them off to sell his car.

I would like to see a CLS with SL/CL65 rims. That is what I'm looking to do.
