Mercedes CLK
Wheel opinion needed pic enclosed
I am considering purchasing these for my CLk430 Silver/Black.
Any opinions are appreciated.
They are $1650 barely used with Pirelli P7000 Supersports. 18x18x5.

I say no, even though the price is reasonable. You should look for wider wheels and deeper lid, I personally think wider wheels with deeper lid will look better on the new mercedes body style. Brand is one thing that you should consider too, AMG, Brabus, Carlsson, Kleemann, Lorinser, they're all good brands for tuning a Mercedes. I currently have 18" AMG Monoblock, thinking about getting 19" Brabus Monoblock V 2pc or 19" Carlsson 2/5 Brilliant Eddition, they're much wider and the lid is deeper.

IMHO - 19s look a bit weird
In my humble opinion - 19s look a bit bizarre for a CLK (too big)
18s seem to look right in my opinion
(then again - I feel jipped that the E55 gets 18s and 275 rubber in the rear STANDARD and us CLK55 guys have to PAY extra to go to 18s 265!)

Not my favorite. I prefer the matte finish, and the spokes seem too thin for the car. I think you would be happier with the AMG version wheels.
I've seen only a few wheel mods that actually look better on a CLK than stock, and what you have here isn't one of them, in my humble opinion.
Sorry to be so frank.
Cheers.
