Well guys need to tell me what you think,

I have stock AMG Custom (Black Chrome) 17 17x7.5 ET 32 17x8.5 ET 30
had the wheels blacked chromed a month or so back.

I found a great deal on some OEM AMG CLK 63 18's Gunmetal Anthracite/Machine 18"x 8" ET34 18"x 8.5" ET30.

What do you guys like better. I always could get the 18's black chromed also.





Louie

I'd say, it depends, what are the wheels going for?
I like your stock rims, they look better in black chrome than the 63 wheels will.
But it might be nice to go bigger and get 18".
Tough choice

I bought the 18's and they are on the car now as you can tell in the pic's and the last pic shows the Stock Black Chrome that I still have. I really like the look of the black chrome on the car but then again I like have in the 18's on there.

Damm you are right tough choice.

My bad, I thought you hadn't bought them yet
Both wheels look great! I wonder how the new wheels would look in black chrome?

I really like the 63 wheels, just as they are. On a silver car the stock colors look great.

I like the black chrome ones, personally. They seem to have a semi-custom look. Then again, I think plus-size rims are overrated, so the fact that the other ones are bigger didn't factor into my preference at all.

Louie, how much did you pay for those wheels? Exactly the style I am looking for, but I want it in 19".

I prefer stock AMG due it's quality and weight, but will buy a set of replicas if the price is right.

If you somehow decide to sell it, please let me know. How did you find it, on eBay?
