Please choose from my list of RIMs for my CLK350 ('07)

Hi all,
First time poster, I just registered today. I actually live in Korea but purchased this car from NA a couple of years ago, and have been driving it around pretty stock for a while... It's time to upgrade the rims, but I want something stockish and high quality. Please help choose the best rims from below list:

Btw, the car is an '07 CLK350 Coupe (WHITE). I think Matte black rims are best for white cars, since silver looks quite dull and doesn't stand out, but right now my fav. are the 19" Lorinsers.

Pic of the car with the tiny wheels -_- lol

[ A ] 18" SL63 AMG replica

Welcome. I would pick A or F if it were me. Not a fan of C but what you like is the most important thing.

Thanks, those are good choices, since [ C ] might be going a bit overboard for such an underpowered car

I like "E" but I bet they may be difficult to keep clean...

I would go with "A" or "E". If you drive your car daily and you don't have "low dust" brake pads, then the preference would be only "A".

IMO "C" and "D" would need to be combined wit other mods/upgrades for the car to look it's best.

Alright, thanks guys, I've never even thought about the dust from brake pads, but now that I think about it, I do have a hard time washing the wheels due to the dust. I also like the clean "stock" looking lines of [ A ], so leaning towards A. A and C are both sold by the same shop, so I'll go and take a look tomorrow and make my final decision. Looks like I'll need springs to lower the stance as well

Thanks guys, I'll post pics once I've got the new rims on! W00T!
