Talking Opinion On Rims

Hi everyone,

Matter of an opinion here, planning to buy rims. I saw an 18 X 8.5 polished Brabus Type VI rims on ebay and boy it looks good! However, I still like my AMG stock rims. The question is.......should I upgrade my AMG rims to 18 or just get the Brabus? Which will look better? Oh yeah....does anyone with a silver CLK have their windows chrome tinted? Please post some pic if you have some.

Thanks guys.

What kind of look do you want for your car? I think the AMG is nice, low profile, and the Brabus one makes your car look more agressive and mean!

I like the agressive look, yet with elegance. My friends have mixed review, some say stick with AMG and some likes the Brabus rims. Thanks guys for your opinion.
