I think the fourth ones have more of a sporty look to it.

Definitely either the 4th one or those split spoke ones that mortenso put on there...

U should get those 20" amg split spoke deep dish replicas and then refinish them black or dark charcoal. it would be sick...and nobody else has it.

Try these..Sevas S-7. I can assure you that these would look very sporty and sick on your car. I saw a set on a CLK this weekend and I was caught staring at the guys car but he was doing the same to mine and we just nodded at each other like retards.

And if you do get them make sure you ge the 40mm offset in front and the back. You can work your way out with a 5mm hub centric spacer on the rear for the flush look.

Tire sizes:

225/35/20 or 225/30/20 - front
245/30/20 or 255/30/20 - rear

Or just go with #4..I've had the #4 in 19" and it was nice but I'm sure the 20" will look much better.

I may have told you before but you can also try what I have which is the Sevas S-55 in black here's the link:
http://www.wheelsdirectonline.com/sevas/s55.htm

The reason why I'm telling you to get these wheels is because their lips are chrome and not machined. A chrome lip looks 100 times better than a machined or polished lip.

I just ordered a set of the 20 inch monoblocks in chrome. I got 42 offset rear because they will apparently stick out. Im hoping I dont rub on the inside instead, I could always get a spacer.

Any input on tire size for this rear 245/30?

Thanks guys

The monoblocks are these

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/20-St...42635979QQrdZ1

I have had a few sets of 19's I never bent any of them. THe trick is to keep them really pumped up, I run 42 in front.

Anyways, Im excited to see how the 20 inch will fit on this car since there are 30 sidewalls available nowadays.

Just hoping I can squeeze the 10 inch rear, right now I have a 9.5 with a 275/30 tire and it fits without rubbing, so I think I will be able to pull it off.

BM1984,

I'm thinking of selling my wheels. I've only had them for about 4 months. Let me know if you're interested.

I'm just ready for a different set...call me crazy but that's just what I do all the time.

There is only 2 of each.

I'll be in touch with a price. The wheels are in such good condition that I don't know what to price them at, but the price will not be what I paid. I'll give you a good deal. You just might have to buy your tires or maybe I'll sell you the tires also...the tires are in great shape also....almost new.

Do these!! Here they are refinished black on a c class...pretty sweet. they'd be crazy in 20's. probably a nice lip available that big too.
