whats with the rims

i think mercedes needs to invest some time, money, and energy into creating more attractive rims. i mean on some cars the rims look really bad like the stock clk320 or e320. if you pay 45+k for a car i would expect it to come with bigger, well designed rims. Rims change the apperance of the car's exterior drastically; the bigger the better. some of you are going to argue its for comfort, but they need to get with the times, or not make the upgrade to bigger rims cost an arm and a leg. and even the amg's arent big enough at times. that is just my opinion. what does everyone else think?

that way you get custom aftermarket rims and your car will look different than other people's. look at all the STi and Evo's... all of'em look the same, what's so special about them then? nothing... plus that way MB can sell more accessories since some people order their cars with different rims anyway. it's a quite smart business strategy. if you offer the best you have, then you have nothing else to stimulate the consumers to make purchases.
