I like multi spoke wheels on a clk similar to discoduck's for I think those would flow with w209's body style. With that said, wheels in both pics look good.

Don't lose sleep over the decision. Obviously you like both of them. Which ever you decide on will look good, then later on you'll wish you'd got the other ones.

so I ended up going with the multi spoke, and I lowered it with H&R springs. dont thing they have had enough time to settle yet though.

sorry for the blurry 2nd pic

Looks good! Counting your own vote, it was a tie. So you ended up with what you wanted anyway. That's the way a poll should work. Congrats!
