Which 19in wheel to get for W203?

Wrapped my stock C55 rims in winter tires last season. And instead of swapping tires on the stock rims, I have decided to get a separate set of 19 inchers that I'll wrap with summer tires.

I have narrowed down my choices to the following...

Brabus Monoblock VI:



AMG Style IV:




RENNtech Monolite:





Personally, I'm leaning towards the Brabus or RENNtech, but I just wanted to get the opinion of fellow W203 owners as well.

Brabus look best, and more rare then the AMG. Not sure I like the RennTech wheels. Heavy fat car and thin spokes aren't my thing.

Why 19"? I think the ride will be jarring, although others on here seem to like them.

If your budget includes Monolites, how about BBS LMs? Those would be the best looking I think.

I am running 19 inch staggered Brabus VI reps for this summer and have received nothing but compliments

I am inclined to agree on this one.

I think it would be a toss up of which ones I could find a better deal on at the time and which ones weigh less.
