Input wanted on wheels for the CLK project
The time has come to start making some decisions about wheels for the CLK 6.3K project. Factors to consider: car is black, Lorniser DTM kit w/ flared F1 fenders, don't want to hide the F/R Brembos, tires will be 305s or 315s in the rear and 265s up front, wheels should be 19"s, wheels must be relatively lightweight for performance and multi-piece only.
I'm pretty sure I want to go with a multipiece rim with anodized(black) center and polished/brushed lip. I was thinking HRE. I know some of you really know what is out there, so if you have any input (especially pictures), it would be appreciated.

Sleestack...I have only one suggestion for you.
OZ Spun Mg Supertourismos in a fitment just for your car:
and in its home environment:
whatever you do...please do not get wheels from one of those froo froo, "custom" places that charge way too much for way too little.

I don't understand why yall like BBS's and RENNtech 10-spokes and so on. They just seem like way too much going on at any given time.
Sleestack, I think you should go for less = better approach. I think it'd work out seeing how you want the least weight possible also.
I'm not saying go HRE, but look at how they have the brakes just being shown off!

VRAA.... photoshop some wheels for me if you have some time. Black centers, polished lip. Pick your favorite HREs.

I like the first one... and second one and of course the ones on your car. I guess it all depends on what sleestack is looking for his car. Exclusivity?weight?brand?

I also like the 1st nand 2nd, altough i would prefer #2 in black rather than gunmetal. Ther'e a little too much lip on #3.
Thanks LR
