[HELP} Cant Make up mind on wheels
Hi guys so i had my car for 2 months (Black clk350 Amg Package 2009) and the hardest choice for me is what rims to get. im looking at 19" and not trying to break the back.
first i like the Brabus VI reps
second, i believe they are the sl63 reps, Avantegarde use to make some nice reps.
third i saw these on USARIM MBZ-550-19-CHR
i would really like some Concave or deep dish (on the rear). concave are too expensive and at the moment the only ones that look like they fit budget is the Brabus reps (they do come with tire. i saw some guy asking 100obo plus shipping, i might get those if he still has it. offer him like 800) i would prefer black with the silver lip, but beggars cant be choosers lol
those BC wheels look NICE@@@!!!!!
Oh i am planing to lower the car, i wanted coilovers but can not find the pss9 (and they cost an arm and a leg) or the Tein SS (more affordable) btw how are the H&R coilovers? im just looking for something close to stock ride quality. might just go with H&R springs for time being.
I AM OPEN TO WHEEL SUGGESTIONS so please post. thank you

For me I'd choose the Brabus reps. I'm currently in a dish face and love rims with a wide lip in the rear.
SL63 reps are nice too. lowpost had those on his car for some time.
I had H&R Street Performance coilovers on my R171 SLK and they completely changed the car. Handled very well and performed nicely. Really good coilovers for the price. Not sure about the CLK though.
If you're looking for stock ride quality then Eibach is the way to go. I have H&R Sport springs and they're still pretty comfortable but the ride got harsher than OEM.
BC Forged wheels are decently priced. 18" FA series are priced around $2400-$2500 for 3 pc forged.

I'm parcial to the avant garde... 
But you certialy cannot go wrong with the old school Brabus look. If you want to see a great example of the avant guards take a look at some older posts by member lowpost he had them. They looked really good.
Of course I have a modified version with deep lip.
The only drawback to the AG's on a 350 might be that they make the brakes look small...Brabus style would lesseen that perception.... Either way you will have sone nice shoes.... Post pics when you decide

Be careful with USA Rim, formerly Eurotech Luxury Wheels. Their products are cheap & cheerful Chinese rubbish. I bought a set of MBZ 480's from them for my previous car. The casting of the wheels was sub standard ~ lumps & pinholes. The finish was poor & deteriorated rapidly & the center caps they provide are absolute junk. They are in fairness cheap but I could swear they sell seconds ~ so buyer beware! I had to have them repainted at 3 years old before I sold the car.
You will also find that their after sales service sucks.
Far better to do business with a reputable company like Tirerack.
