19" Wheels for C55

Hey guys I need some opinions on 19" wheels for my C55.

I wanted to get the BBS LMs, but I was told by my local wheel shop that the LMs have been discontinued and are hard to find. I'm going to keep searching for the LMs, but my options are also open.

Check out the attachments and let me know what you think. Please excuse my poor photoshop skills.

1st pic - BBS LMs (My top pick)
2nd pic - HRE 540R Silver
3rd pic - HRE 540R Black
4th pic - DTM Kruez 10

LMs are my favorite. HRE 540Rs look a bit busy even though they look similar to LMs. I am starting to like the DTM rims.

I prefer the LM's to all the other wheels you have shown.. Not fond of the DTM's.. My favorite HRE's are the 449's or the 549's.. but they are much busier.. and happen to look very similar to my SLK55 wheels.. LOL..

Based on the pics you provided, my main choice will be DTM and then HRE 540 silver. I dont know why but not feeling the LM at all....just my opinion.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm still trying to research all my wheel options. If anyone is good at PhotoShop and has suggestions for other wheel types, please feel free to update the attached pictures.

My ultimate goal is to choose a clean wheel design that will complement my silver C55. Nothing too flashy and definitely no chrome.

I like the HREs in silver. I actually like the HRE 841s better than the 540s though.

Here's a photoshop of the Lorinser RS8 wheels.
It's a unique style, but there's no lip

Those look nice, but I'm crossing my fingers for hope that I can get a set of LMs.
