Miro 111 on c43

hey guys, i am looking to buy some wheels for my c43 and i am needing some opinions.

the wheels are miro 111 (18x8.5 et35 and 18x9.5 et40). they are very popular on the bmw and vw cars these days. it is a really nice wheel with a beautiful concave design but i am worried they may be "too modern" looking for our cars. any opinions/pictures?

here is a quick google link:

There are lots of manufacturers of wheels for BMW and VW/Audi. And while the VW/Audis share the 5x112.5 bolt pattern, you may find an issue with the centre bores. The VW/Audis use 57.1mm (if I remember right), and Mercedes is 66.6mm. So that's why you see a lot of VW/Audis running Mercedes wheels - they just pop in a centering ring to bring the centre bore down. But you can't readily go the other way, not without machining the centre bore larger a tad. It can be done though, just something to keep in mind when you are shopping for wheels.
