GO with the Vertini's...I think the HP lip will end up oxidizing after a while ( i've seen a few used sets) and lose its luster pretty fast...just from what I've seen..

The vertini wheel is the nicer wheel. go to tirerack.com as well if you want to check out some addtional styles. i put 9.5 on the rear with a 15mm spacer and hat to roll the fenders. if you just stick with 9.5 inch wheels you should be fine. the offset will be a big factor in how they fit as well. that is the one good thing about tirerack. you know they are going to fit.

I have 10 inch amg Style I "aero" 2 piece wheels on the rear axle of my 208 55 AMG. With their 25mm ET offset, they barely intrude into the wheel well, and yet there is still a good 10mm of space outboard. In other words, with the ideal offset you could probably squeeze in even bigger rims. There is plenty of room on the rear of CLKs. The challenge is more up front.
FWIW, I prefer your present rims to the alternatives. Nothing wrong with AMG double spokes (unless you want to save weight)!

the thing is that i really want to give the car a fresh new look.... plus the car wash damaged one of my wheels and its kind of a eye sore with the chip and scratches. So we have Vertini in the lead with the 10 spoke HP's running up close...
