What in the world is going on here? For the first time I actually agree with AMG 55. Go bigger.

I'm going to go buy a lottery ticket now.

If you're dead set on getting AMG wheels, then go with A. Otherwise its E. Just go with some different aftermarket rims. It makes the car stand out so much more.

18" version of A. Gotta get 18's if you're upgrading! (unless you want 19's....)

E. And skip that seller because of their feedback. Also, I recommend real 18" AMG wheels from TireRack. Yes, they're more pricey than those eBay ads, but you get what you pay for. Heck, I bought my wife's 171 AMGs from there recently and I don't regret it.
