Looks like I'm between the BBS LMs and the DTM wheels. I can check on the price if you want, email me.
Where can I find a site that shows tons of MB wheels?

I've got to decide which wheels to get in January, and haven't quite made up my mind yet. I'm looking for a very light weight + good looking wheel. Anyone know where I can find some extensive online catalogs? I've already seen BBS LMs, looking for others. What do you think of the CLK DTM wheels?

A few:
http://www.superbuytires.com/index.html
(you can look by car)
http://www.wheelwarehouse.com/galleryindex.htm
(must look by brand)
http://www.upgrademotoring.com/wheels/
(only a few brands but excellent pics)
I like the DTM wheels, but I'm afraid to ask how much. Are they available?
I also like the Lowenhart LD1's and Kleemann's, but I'm still evaluating whether they're just this side of too pimpy, or over the line.

If you like the BBS LM, then try the Fikse FM/10 . Is light weight forged and similar to the LM.

You've probaly checked it out, but Tire Rack's site shows your car, in your color, with different types of wheels, although models are limited.

Where are you going to get those DTM wheels?
I am very interested in them. I looked and looked a couple of months ago. I think that ATS supplies the wheels for MB DTM. The official importer is "tires.com" but the DTM 2000 wheel that they sell is only available in 18" and only 8 wide, maybe 8.5. Regardless, they do not appear to be same as the wheels listed on ATS website.
The new wheels for the SL55 look very similar to DTM wheels (19 inch I think) and would probably fit a CLK...but cost a lot and I don't know when they will be available. I really don't care about the cost though, up to a certain point. E-mail me if you have a line on DTM wheels that would actually fit a CLK. Co-purchase perhaps?

Has anyone seen the Dronel I or RS wheel?
HMRDWN,
I'm checking on the cost of those wheels for you. I'll keep you posted.
Bmac,
I checked on the Carbon wheels, I don't like the current styles for them, but it's a good concept.
KWiK,
I'm actually trying to get sponsored for wheels, so I doubt custom ones will be a choice for me. But thanks.

I will have these available after the first of the year. Made in Japan. 2 piece wheel.

pricing is not set yet, they can be chrome plated but it takes 4 weeks (my plater is backed up and he's the only one that offers warranty around here). This wheel shouldn't be too expensive from my understanding. They should be here from Japan first week of January, maybe sooner. I will keep you guys posted.

Ben, Cliff is right. The GT3 3 piece is a good choice. Simon has these, too. They will show off your new brembo brakes, all with a nice fat polished lip.
