Is $1,500 including tires? What size are you looking to get.

$1,500 isn't a whole lot to work with if you are going for bling-bling... and want to front big names...

although, there are times when you can get some nice used 18" carlssons on ebay for around $1200-1500 with tires.

Or you can easily get away with some knock-off 18" Brabus Mono VI for a little over $1,000.

Ebay is bargain shoppers dream... most of the time. take a look

my former rims were similar... and they can be had WITH tires for around 2,000. but, they only come in 19

in my opinion, they are GREAT rims for the price!!!

mine got stolen, but here is a pic of nickv with the same rims:

With $1500 as your budget, you can get 1 BBS LM with tire....

Always been a fan of AMG, I think they just "fit" right with our cars...

Replica's are ok, it is after all your car. As long as you like them it's all good.

AMG is supposed to have the new full split spoke ala E55 18" rim available soon, I think they look awesome. Luke at the Tire Rack tells me they should be in soon.
