Silver CLK 500 Wheel Choices (VOTE)

Hi Guys,
I am searching for 19" staggered wheels for my silver 2005 CLK500. Preferably something with a deep lip. So many choices I'm overwhelmed
I have the following in mind... Please vote for what you think will look best on this car.

1- Axis Matrix (Hyper Black with Polished Lip)
2- Axis EXE KonVex (Diamond Cut Face and Lip) - a little out of my price range
3- TSW Zolder 5 (Gloss Black w/ mirror cut lip)
4- TSW Willow (Gloss Black w/mirror cut face)
5- TSW Asan 5 (Machined w/ Gunmetal)

Pictures are attached as follows. Feel free to suggest any other options.

What are you basing your selections on? Price? What's the max you want to spend, with and without tires? Are you looking for black wheels?

I have seen the Konvex on an SL before... looked OK... I dont think some of those fit our car. Did you check the offsets?

They are all 5x112 bolt pattern.
Axis are 35 front and 40 rear offset.
TSWs are 32 front and 35 rear offset.
So I'm pretty sure 1 thru 4 will fit fine.

Except for the last one (they are available in 18" 5x112 bolt pattern w/ 32 offset both front and rear). This one might not be exact fit.
5- TSW Asan 5 (Machined w/ Gunmetal)

I want to stay close to $2,000 including tires. TSWs will run me around $2,200 with Continental DWS tires.
Axis will be a few hundred more. But my max is $2,400.
Max on wheels only - $1,300 + tax/shipping.
I like machine finish and/or matte black. But not really into gloss black look.

lol black rims on a silver car would look sexy. i wouldnt mind it being my set up.

i say the best choice of rim would be the last one. i cant see any other of your choices on you car. if you can, photoshop your wheels on your car. place it as you desktop wallpaper. and see which ones appeals to you more.

Ok I agree, black look really nice.

And those are excellent looking wheels! Seems like they are a little out of my price range unless I find a nice deal online.

I also like dynomite05's wheels. One of the sponsor is selling it for a good price https://mbworld.org/forums/clk-class...ic-tuning.html
I don't plan to keep the car for too long so maybe thats a good option.

Of the wheels you listed I like the Zolder 5's. I'm a bit bias though as I'm a big fan of wheels with a black face and polished lip on silver/white cars.
