I like number 3 and 4 but 4 seems more classier to me
it all depends how wide u want em and how low is your car and so forth.
give us more details and what u are planning to do!!!!

omg.
will i have to lower my car in order to put on 18 wheels??
i broke my 17 inch chrome amg wheel so i wanted to replace them and get new ones.
i've never lowered... what does that entail?

NOOOOOOOOOOOO u dont have to lower it bro..... i was asking if u ever wanna lower it, EXAMPLE: u cant go with 275 in the rear but 255 will do.. that is an example.(depends on the stats on your car.
if u dont want the gap between tire and fender, then u have to lower the car.
and rubbing issues bro.
Now, if u are keepin the car stock, then u will be fine Rolling 430

thanks so much! I'll get 18" wheels from ebay.
I'm not super into modding my car, but i just love my clk and love it with rims my grill and maybe tint my windows. currently i have the bigstar grill and black side markers. i like the clean almost stock amg mod look....
so 18's won't be that much different than the 17 inch amg wheels that will be coming off? i can just slap them on and i do'nt have to lower it?
will it still ride similar etc? will it look REALLLY bad? i've been looking at past forums and such... but still confused...
thanks for your help!
p.s. & i'm a female big mike lol.. u were calling me bro.. i guess that explains why i don't much about this stuff!

Clk 320
By far the best looking one in my opinion
I would suggest you first go to ForMyMercedes.com and look at his website. I purchased my rims from him for cheap and wouldnt trade them out for anything.
