Looking for wheels
I've been thinking about getting wheels for a while, and I had finally decided on 19" Brabus MB VI replicas. I have a friend that can get me a new set with deep lips for 880 shipped. Its a great deal, but I dont have tons of $ to spend.
What I really wanna do is get some 19" AMG-style (w/ 5 twin spokes) with a deep lip and have them finished gun-metal like the cl65 and sl65 wheels. My clk430 is silver and i think the titanium/charcoal/gunmetal sl65 style wheels would look awesome, especially with the deep lip. Anybody know of companies that make 19" replicas w/ a nice lip (1-2.5 front, 2-3.5 back)?

Well the reason I ask is because I know some people in the wheel/tire business and I wanted to find out who actually produces the wheels so I can see if they can get them for close to cost.

Not mounted yet. I had to send one rim back for an exchange.
Front rim....
Rear rim...
The place I got them from was "The-wheel-exchange" . Hands down one of the best Ebay experiences I have had. Great customer service and after sales support.

Interested in selling your stock wheels
I was just wondering if you are getting new wheels on your CLK430, if you might be interested in selling your stock 17" wheels? If so how much and when will you be ready to sell? Email me at cobraralph@hotmail.com. Thanks!

wheels
I've been looking at the same wheels except in the staggered 18"(love the 19's but my girlfriend has never missed a pothole or curb). What size tires would be good for the 18's. So they're not too low profile but also don't rub. Thanks, Todd

Axis milano's!!! I like em even better than the brabus...but,
black w/ chrome would be ok.
black w/ charcoal or black w/ polished/chrome lips would be sick.

Yea, aint ready...its cuz i feel like my front 19 fills up the space perfectly, but the rear one seems a little small. but my tires are 255 30 instead of 265 30, so once a 265 is on instead, it might look just right. around the side of the wheel gap, it's larger in the back than the front...thats why i noticed a 20 might be nice for the rear.
