All this justifying what wheels are better because of the cost/weight factor is stupidity.
Did you buy a BNZ to drag race, or because you are a track nut..no..So when people talk **** about weight I just laugh.
Most of you guys barley break the speed limit...
Now if you have a BNZ that is a non AMG weight and cheapness of a wheel is a factor, because you don’t have 6K to throw around and your car is slow as it is...
Now that is clearly evident.
note, not aimed at track nuts or drag nuts, I know who you are, I am just calling out the sheep..

right on point Vader..... I personally think if you have a german car than try to stick w/ wheels made for them, and same goes w/ Japanese cars and wheels....stay with the same theme

I see I have some new allies on the DARK SIDE...
Personally I stick with one tuner as well.
Any C AMG is awsome bone stock. So when I go for aftermarket I like to complament AMG with a nice high end tuner.
I chose Brabus, Wheels, door sills, pedals , door pins, plates..
I do have Intrax suspension, but no one can see that..
I do not like Frankenstien high end cars..It gets a bit diluted from the whole point of the AMG Awsomeness..

I see the points you peeps are saying, but to me, i think i would rather go with the ssr gt3 cuz they are 3 pc rims. If the brabus rims were 2 pc, i would choose those over the gt3. Rims with the rivets on them look a lot better. just my 2c

I am also one of those who will not buy any wheels for my MB that I will see them on Japanese cars all the time, such as OZ or SSR.....so my vote went to Brabus (although I might be selling the SSR to the original poster).
