Help with what rims I should get

It's time to get some new shoes for my ride. I was thinking about getting the LM5 Style rims. Anyone know of any other rims that would look good let me know. I wanted some opinions (or pics would be good too) about which way to get them done. I was thinking highly polished lip and painted black center, all chrome, or just silver. I'm leaning toward the black myself. The only problem is the car is silver and I don't know how black rims would look on a silver car. Any advice or pics would be greatly appreciated.

I have searched the clk pictures and I did not find any pics of black LM5's. I was asking for opinions anyway, i can't find those there. I personally don't like the Brabus wheels. How much are you asking though I might be able to find a buyer.

Lowenhart makes great wheels and they look amazing on mercedes. The BS5 is a great wheel. If your area is anything like mine, Lowenharts are rare anyway so you can go anywhere and not see a care exactly like yours. Black could be hot done right, but....i would probably go with chrome. Chrome just looks rich when its clean and the right tint added would set it off. JMO

I would have to disagree. They look great, but, from personal experience, I can say the Mono V s (18" multipiece) are unnecessarily heavy. They each weigh in excess of 32 lbs (36 for the rear, I believe). I was not happy with the way way they felt and switched to BBS LMs, which made a huge difference in the way my car drove.

I actually have a set of 18" chrome Lowenhart BR5 knockoffs on my 300E and I really like them but I can't have the same rims on both cars. I would definitely have gotten the BR5's for the clk if I didn't already have them on the 300E. Thanks for all the help guys.

Any place to get the MH Dezent 700 rims at a decent price? Oberklasse is $1,500 per rim.. nothing on ebay.
