advice on wheels

Newbie needs advice on wheels/ Thinking about getting 19" or 20" wheels, maybe Brabus monochrome s or HRE 549. Any opinions on these brands since I keep hearing Brabus is overpriced and heavy? Any recommendations? And does 19 or 20 make a huge difference? Any info would be great

Fast Cars!
Definitly go with HRE. 20" 549's would look incredible. Email me if you need a quote.

Honestly I would consider 3 pc forged rim(HRE) over overpriced cast rims(Brabus)

BUT...

IMO Brabus Monoblock S is more classy which flows with CLS MUCH better than aggressive looking HRE 549s.

true, the Brabus one is more classy, but since my car is black , I figured aggressive wouldn't be too bad.
