New wheels for my CLK

Hi guys, I'm looking for new 18" or 19" wheels for my Black 2003 CLK320 for $1000. I really like the C63 AMG multispoke rims, so I want some rims that are similar: ~16 spokes, clean look, no lip, silver or machined. I also want the rims to look like they belong on the car (keep it looking OEM). I don't want to use spacers for the rims either so the rims have to have the right offsets. Can you please suggest rims that look like this:


So far, I have seen two rims. The VMR V709 Hyper Silver. This rim is very close to the AMG multispoke. This rim only comes in 19x8.5, so I can't stagger the wheels.

And the TSW Mallory 5 Silver w/ Mirror Cut Face. This one doesn't have straight spokes though, but comes in meny sizes so I can stagger the wheels.

Will these fit on my car? Both of these have too thick of an outside edge behind the spokes, compared to the C63 rims.

I have wheels made by Mandrus. I think they are owned by TSW. I bought the milleium wheels a couple years ago. Still love them. They, however, have machined lips ( i think 1 and 2.5 inches). They are staggered.

I checked their site and they have a new wheel similiar to the ones you pictured. Take a look.

Happy hunting.

I don't know the cost of the Mandrus wheels. I paid about $200 a piece for mine. But that was over 2 years ago. Similiar wheels on CARID are $270-$300.

The wheels for sale are really nice, but that post was dated august of 2011. They're either sold or you probably don't want them....... Besides, I think AMG wheels and tires may be $1200 a piece, and not for the set. Just my guess.......

Others can help with the offset question and if it will fit. I have not checked but the answer to that question may be in a sticky at the top of the main forum screen.
