To chip or not to chip........

Hi

I have a 2003 CLK500 (w209). I was thinking that the time has come to chip it, but not sure which type to use. I am more interested in acceleration then top speed. Can anyone advise me as to which is the best around?

Also I have had lots of trouble finding new wheels for it (for some reason Mercedes thought 17" alloys look good). The problem is that the 500 has larger brake calipers then the other CLK's so fing a wheel to clear the brakes has been a problem.... any ideas

I live in Dubai so choice may be a little limited

Thanks

Richard
