Finally saved enough pennies to buy some 19's, now which one

Ok guys, I finally have enough to get some decent rims hopefully. I'll be purchasing the rims in about 2 weeks. I'm still trying to get a deal on the suspension. I decided to go with H&R's, Koni Adjust, and #4 pads all around.
Choices so far for wheels are the AMG Twinspokes (I know everyone has it already) but affordable, Movens Brabus Rep Mon Block 6, I seen a guy on another thread that had some deep lips 2.5 in the front 3.0 in the rear.
Dandada CLK has some used 19" Carlsson 2/5's for sale. I have a black 02 CLK 55. Mainly I'm looking for a rim with a deep lip, let me know what you guys think about these rims.

Thanks

All nice choices...it would be tough to decide. Go for the highest qualtiy wheels as they'll likely stand up to more punishment.

Thanks Chappy, I'm leaning more towards the Carlsson's since they are original and just have them refinised. But I like the lip on those rep Brabus Mon VI.

You might want to check out wheelexperts.com they have some rims on sale, check out the Lexion 203, they look like the Carlsson's but with more of a lip. They are also high quality wheels.
