Best Wheels for the 215?

Hi fellow Benz lovers, I just picked up this 2005 cl65 AMG, quite the story actually. To make it short, I just sold my c63s and was on vacation with the family, and was browsing marketplace to find this cl65 only a few miles away. Went looked at it, got it for a great deal and bought it! Anyways, the previous owner put these ugly poorly spec’d wheels on it, and now I’m trying to figure out what wheels I want to put on, so I wanted to ask you guys what you think! I kinda like the style of the rims he put on the car but they stick out terribly and I think need to be bigger (19s or 20s) Right now my top 3 considerations are
1. OZ Racing Futuras (5 spoke)
2. Some kind of multi spoke rims (around 12 spokes)
3. Lorinser LM6s

Let me know what you guys think, I know the lorinsers are a little ugly but I find them so ugly that they’re cool, and they’re period correct for the car. If you have any other suggestions let me know!

Ive been debating getting aftermarket wheels
for my CL55 since the day I got it.

I dig the lines of the factory wheels, I also really like the 19s that came on your car as an upgrade. Tried to get a set of custom BBS LMs made but BBS Japan said no.

Looking forward to following along on your search

Update - I'm now looking at some brabus monoblock S's I found, most likely gonna go with those. Theyre 20x10.5 and 20x9 so they should fit quite nicely, I'll update with pics after I get the rims and lower it! (Looks like next week my links come)

I love the look of the OEM 19's however I feel like if I'm gonna change the rims I may as well do it right. If the car came with the OEM 19's however, I wouldn't change them (at least for now)
