I'm running these on mine:







I'm not a huge fan of the spokes on mine (came with the car) but the deep dish look I do like.

Of the two.. I'd go with the Jarama personally. I think the CLK looks better with a lighter spoke, than with a heavier one.

The Brema is another one that I'd go for if I was in the market for them right now. Oh.. and be SURE you get the TSW hub-centric rings for them. The ones other outfits sell WILL NOT WORK (oh.. ask me how I know.. just ask me.. come on now..). They should sell them with the wheels, just be sure you get them. They should be 66.65mm bore, if I recall correctly. The bore on my TSW's was 72.x mm and the dumb*** previous owner did not buy the rings.. shimmied like hell... probably why he had such a hard time sell ing... LOL (dumb***).

Hmm, I thought I replied in here haha but those Jamara's would look nice.

I'm not a huge fan w/ some of TSW's wheels but the Indy 500 would look sick on the CLK, that would be my decision.

Rule of thumb for CLK's..... the more wheel you got, the better it looks. Thin spokes have nearly no wheel, fat spokes and dish wheels have a lot of wheel and look best.

That's why the clk55 AMG wheels look better than the CLK430 amg wheels.

i prefer vortex and indy 500 to the jamara. too bad they don't have vortex style with a nice deep lip. the jamara isn't bad, but i'm afraid the spokes are a little thin for our slightly overweight cars

Does the Mercedes center cap fit in the TSW Jarama.
