Should i get W/This or shouuld i get W/That

I'm thinking of getting a set of wheels but i'm torn on what wheels to go with. I'm debating between the follwoing:
A) Euro63RS's (Monarch?) in 19's. I think these look awsome but i just realized they were a bit heavy. I'm also not sure how these last.
B) Forgestar F14. These are beautiful concave wheels. Only downfall is i got a Mocha Black CLK and i'm not sure what color to go with-shiny black & flat black wheels look weird on my car when it's washed and in the sun as it's got a bit of a Brownish tint to it.
C) Work T1S's. These are about a grand or more than the other two, but they are quality wheels and look amazing.

What do you guys think? Here is a pic of my car

I would go with A or B. Leaning more towards B in gloss. I can't say anything negative about my F14s, they have been great.

I'm just worried about the wear/tear on the Euro63RS's. I'd jump on the F14's if they made a shiny polished with the interbarrels black <- that would be sick

What do you mean "wear and tear"? What size would you get the F14s?

I already have 18's so i'd wanna get 19's if i got new wheels. I'm just not sure how the EURO63's would hold up in daily driving and etc. I believe they are 1 piece wheels so if i bend the lip or etc i believe i'd need a new wheels. Also, i'm not sure how heavy they are, i like option B/C because they seem to be a bit lighter.

I know I switched from 19s to 18s, but I could definitely feel the weight difference between the F14s and the AMG reps I had.

Ok, I will get them for you tomorrow. I check for the belt button and it's not sold separately, it's part of the whole belt assy. I will get you the part number of the speaker cover for my alcantara trim.

Check out Mandus Milleniums (like I have) or Madrus Velos...you may like those as they're made to fit Mercedes sizing and they come in some great offsets to help avoid spacers...

Also come in gloss black, chrome or satin silver...

I'd get the Forgestars or Work. Maybe not the TS1's though. Work has some newer wheels that look really nice.

If you don't mind the wait you could always go custom wheels....

I have Modulare forged on my CLK.

I am gonna say Work, since I prefer buying lightweight wheels. I prefer the VS-XX wheel that they have, but if you like the TS1 then go with it because everyone has different tastes. Its nice to have a light wheel, and you can definitely feel the difference driving on heavy wheels vs light wheels.
