Sigh.....I Should've ordered Black one, nothing goes well w/ the silver exterior
I was looking forward to get a set of rims before the car gets here but I couldn't find anything that look good on silver...sign
WHY DIDN'T I GET THE BLACK ONE!!

try black with polished lip, and get very dark almost balck tint, and then smoke your taillights. that would look nice.

i have a silver one, i love it. i have polished rims and mirror tints. the car always looks clean unless you're up close, you have to wash black cars all the time.

I like these rims but I have a question, how come rear rims are deeper then front wheels? It looks really nice. Do I need to know any specific size/numbers or it just comes this way?

yes the deeper in the back is a stle, you hear people talking about how big there "lip" is in teh rear. like this pick, has like a 4-5 lip, wich is large. and yes you do need to know what "off-set" your car is.
and incase you dont know-
there are 2 choices that you have with rims. a staggarded set up. or all the same. teh staggarded means that you have bigger tires in the rear **like int eh pick*
for insance on my SL the tires and wheels are-
frnt-235 40 18 and in the back- 275 35 18
i think the fattest you can go is 265, but im not sure, ive never owned a 209.

Dude, silver is great color man! My w209 has a 19 x 8.5 and 19 x 9.5. No fender treatment is required if you go with my setup. However, some people on this board do use 20 inch rims on their w209. Good luck!

I got a silver CLK as well. Its a great color. Black looks great too but higher maintenance. IF it rains alot in your area you will be really happy that your getting silver.
