New Wheels - Opinions... Much appreciated

I'm looking for some new 20" wheels for my beast when it comes back from the body shop. I keep debating between Kahns and Vellano VSH.

Curious to see what peoples opinions are...

Kahns can be found here: http://www.projectkahnmercedes.com/CLS/

And the Vellano VSH here: http://www.vellanowheels.com/collection/VSH/vsh.htm

Both awesome wheels, I know very different styles... but thought I's poll you all..
cheers

the Vallano's are a good product but i woudnt go with the star look... maybe another design.. I dont know if im feeling the others (kahn) alittle too much chrome for the CLS for me..

They both are terrible. If it isnt an HRE or Renntech wheel you are wasting your time.

i said the kahn... no point 'customizing' your car with wheels that everyone else already has... might as well put on split spoke amg knock-offs or replica brabus VI, at this point they're more common than factory wheels!
just my 2 cents anyway, i've always been partial to those kahn wheels myself.

MikeRPA, is that your car? do you have any more pictures at different angles, I'd liek to see the wheels better from the side or rear angle...

+1

But the lesser of two evils would be the Vellano's.

And don't say HRE's are played, please. At that price point, nothing gets played.
