Forget flashy wheels, and go with something performance oriented instead. OZ Racing makes some gorgeous products, specifically their Superleggera and Ultraleggera wheels. Crisper turn in, improved acceleration, and better fuel economy...not to mention they look better those wheels posted above.

i don't like the wheels as posted above at all-


i would highly recommend sticking with wheels from Mercedes or Mercedes tuners for this car... for many reasons they seem to look best. It's the only vehicle i've ever had that i felt that way about.
