I think they look ridiculous. They look like they belong on a tricked out Honda. Unless you are a gansta, you would look like a moron with those wheels on your CLK. IMO, and you did ask.

The last time I checked MAE was made in Germany for high end German cars, so I dont know where the hell did you get the tricked out Honda from.

I know who MAE is and where they are from...

It's not necessarily an amazing product because it's German, or because it's expensive. You can't import class, or buy it.

I don't like those wheels, as I said, In MY Opinion -- if you don't want to hear it, don't ask. This forum is not here to blow smoke up your...Expect positive and negative responses, and deal with them or don't post.

Referring to a a tricked out Honda -- I think I just mean it looks like they are trying too hard to get attention with those wheels...as in zeons/wings/neon trim on civics/accords/crxs, ect.

The only time I want to see those rims is in chrome on a rapper's SL600. Definitely attention-getting, but pretty damn ridiculous. Go with Brabus Monoblock Vs or VIs. DTM style or RENNtech wheels would be good too.

Not too many people here like MAE wheels. I saw a beautiful black CLK in Germany with the whole MAE kit, absolutely stunning. Also saw a few older SL's around Boston with deep-dish MAE wheels, they looked real nice. Now the ones in your pic, they do look strange, but might be better in person.

These wheels were developed by the "ORIGAMI School of Design" in Osaka.

This wheel design would look incongruous on ANY MB. :o
