Just messing around *Pics*
Tried these Lorinser LM6 with some spacers to see just how much the CLS can take. The setup is 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 offset 18 and 18. The wheels were sticking out the fenders by a few mm. Very nice in person but for some reason it looks different in photos. anyways enjoy.

I hate those lorinsers in pictures, they look better in person.
Personally your car reminds me of a fart can Honda...
Lm-6s in black just dont look good..
In other words dont buy those! The CLS is too good looking for such a weird looking wheel setup!

i REALLY hope u are just messing around. what ever wheel u end up with, make sure u drop it!
i dont get what u were trying to do with the spacers and all to see how much it could take. go for a setup without spacers for sure...
and ditch the mud flaps!!!

Actually the car is a bit lower than that normally, its just that i didnt let the suspension settle after having it jacked up to install the wheels. anyways thanks for the input guys. Black center is out now.

I say "to each his own", "one man's ceiling is another man's floor" and all that, but for me the black wheels simply don't fit the lines of the car and detract vs enhance the look of the car (might work with black on black but too distracting on silver)....I'm big on individual "branding" of one's own MB, but in some cases, it's best to not try to fix something that's not broke.

If you lower (or even not) with those front offsets you're likely to rub, you might be able to get away with the rears. Those wheels are fugly on your car....glad you took them off 
In any case, you really need get those spikey OEM wheels off your car ...cheapens it IMO...

Black centers make a wheel look smaller so you should go 20 inch if you want black centers...
Id stick with AMG's if you must have 19's.
I made the mistake of going with 19's on my E and they looked tiny.

Everyone has different tastes stick with what you like. Imho it looks awkward. Imho something like the look on this AMG wheel.(Shadow Chrome,titanium silver,gray whatever MB calls it.:-) ) would look better with silver.
