Can't decide between 2 rims

I'm trying to decide between to sets of rims the and need some opinions.

I spent quite a while searching and haven't found the pix I'm looking for.

I'm looking for some pix of a clk (silver if possible) with the 829 style SLS rims.

and the other ones are 2012 cl63 rims

if you have any pix I'd love to see them.

I think it comes down to your brakes: both wheels are beautiful, but the second, the 5 spokes, show more brake. If they're hot, go there!

I just have stock brakes but I would hate to choose a rim based on that, I can always upgrade the brakes.

I prefer the second rim, a little beefier and sportier for the 209 body.
