#3 & #5 are my personal favorites out of those, but it's your car and the wheels should reflect your own personal style and taste. Good luck!

Whatever you choose, please dont put replicas on a MB...

3, 5, and 9 only..

3 and 9 r nice,. i also love lm6's i just cant find them in 17 or 18 inch

Yeah, I'm having a heck of a time locating rims in the design I like...and in 17" also. So it's a tedious process. I just turned down Brabus VIs in 18" which were only 150 miles away.....all because I didn't want staggered either. sigh..
So the Angstroms are still on my short list but boy, are they expensive. I'll get them in a few months - and prob eat macaroni n cheese the rest of this year. But thanks for the links above though!

I would go with the HRE's if you're concerned about performance, they are lightweight wheels. If you want more show than go I like the maido wheels.

blk_clk500

should i go for 18's or 19's???dont want the ride to be ruined...but ive heard 19's rnt too bad...r the maido wheels not good???those were kinda the ones i was leanin to until all of pretty much disagreed....

Blake P

Unless you're a rapper or professional sports player, I'd stay away from those if you want to keep the Benz looking classy.

blk_clk500

stay away from those?!?!meaning 19's or the maido wheels???

blk_clk500

oh ya...almost forgot these ones too

Sorry, I meant Maido. 19's look awesome, but I went with 18's on my C because I didn't want to risk the greater chance of bending a wheel and/or harsher ride quality.

I like the last wheel you posted.

Chi500

Due to the fact that you live in Toronto, I assume that your streets are full of potholes, I would go with the 18's like Blake said. there's nothing wrong with the Maidos, I was just saying that the HRE's are more geared towards performance because they are a lot lighter. The maido's look a lot better in my opinion, but again, it depends on what YOU want.

TMans

If you want just the looks, go with 19s. If you are worried about fixing rims, go with 18s. The 19s aren't that bad in ride quality for me, but the big problem is bent rims.

Chi500

Bent rims are definately a pain in the a$$. the potholes are so bad here I bent 17's. But then again insurance covered it. Blk clk, just go with whatever you want.

blk_clk500

thanks guys...uve helped quite a bit!!!

if you ask me for my opinion i would recommend a rim with no tiny screws on there. simply because of the cleaning. breakdust is really hard to be washed of, believe me. i would choose a rim with an evenly surface not a lot of corners or edges. but it got to be some 19"

blk_clk500

i have a power washer....wont that wash out all the break dust???

clkhunting

7 is very nice. I would stay away from the Maido... way too pimp... they will de-class your car.

Chi500

It just depends on your style

[QUOTE=blk_clk500]i have a power washer....wont that wash out all the break dust???[/QUOTE

If you wash them everytime after you drive. I won't see a problem. But if you drive for just a week. Then you'll already gonna have a lot of cleaning to do. I don't even wanna talk about 2 weeks or longer.

lauer89

Before you powerwash those replicas, you better be pretty positive your powerwasher's pressure isnt high enough to take the finish off the wheels.

blk_clk500

i wouldnt slap replicas on my car...just had the replica ones there for the style idea i was lookin at!!!
