Wheels - Opinions/Suggestions
I know this comes up a lot so I'm sorry to beat a dead horse. I
have a plain Jane, CLK 320 2002, Brilliant Silver, no mods. It's time to replace the tires and I was thinking of using this opportunity to upgrade to 17" rims/tires. Two issues: I can't spend the big bucks (no more than $2000 w/ tires) and I don't want it to be too flashy (I use the car mostly for business).
Should I (1) just replace my tires, (2) buy the mercedes 17" 5 spoke style E for $350/rim, or (3) buy an aftermarket rim that would need to be classy looking? I don't know sh*& from shinola when I look at the wheels on these tire/rim web sites and I don't want to cheapen the car by buying cheap no-name rims. Somebody please help with suggestions.....
Many thanks in advance.

Yeah, if you wanna different look, and not go too flashy with aftermarket wheels... you can't beat going with AMG wheels...
