I'm sorry, but the aftermarket wheel industry for MBZ seems to me to be a gigantic ripoff.

Check edgeracing.com They sell the Flik line, which fits MBZ perfectly, and runs anywhere from $100-$150 per wheel. I have 18/8.5" (21 lb.) Flik Artics on my C32. They look great. I have had 50+ people tell me that they love them on my car. I have taken them to the dragstrip and over huge potholes and they are bulletproof.

If you like to flush your money (or you are one of those "designer labels" types) then go for the Brabus/HRE/LouisVuitton "lets bend over and grap our ankles" wheels.

If you are pre-lobotomy, use the money you save with the Fliks to do some engine upgrades.

Just my $2.00

I dont really understand what your trying to say? The TSW Bremmas are not 150 a wheel. But they are very close to it. So for an AMG look witch people like, its a very good deal no matter what anyone says. Hell TSW makes wheels for fords, honda etc. and they are all about the same price, even the honda guys think there a good deal. A set of 19" staggered wheels with tires for less then $1,800 is not expensive to many people when looking for 19s that fit without spacers.

I have seen filk wheels, i would only use wheels like that for a track, otherwise i would stick with stocks before those.

Me on the other hand, i guess i like to flush the very small amount of money i have and get HREs.

Sorry, my post really should not have been a reply to the quote. The TSWs also look like a great bargain. I will post some photos in the next day or two.
