Help me with wheel selection please

At least I have this narrowed down somewhat. I have a 2000 silver cab with HR springs.

I cant decide between the Carlsson 1/5's (one piece) or 2/5's (2 piece). between 18 & 19 inch.

A lot of people told me to go with the 1/5's becasue they will look "cleaner" and actually appear larger than the 2/5's beacuse of the lack of all the rivets on the rim.

Of course I would like the biggest wheel possible, but I am worried that the 19"s would rub.

You can see pictures http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/carlsson/carlsson.htm

Or maybe you hate these wheels althoghther. I am always open to suggestions and feedbackCarlsson Wheel Pictures

I would choose the 19x8 and 19x9 2/5 Brilliant edition with 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 tires...no rubbing.

yes, i looked at your site. The only thing I don't like about it is that prices are not listed like on tirerack.com. Also, I don't know which wheels fit on my Mercedes and which do not. I know you would be more than happy to prepare a quote, but sometimes people arnt quite sure what they want or if its in thier price range and they dont really want to deal with a sales person.

Got it, no problem. Just let me know if you want help.

We can't list some of the prices unless they are list. For example, Brabus or Lorinser won't let us list the actual prices we sell at. So, we just left all the prices off.
