ball park id say about $6200. the prob is, these wheels are copied so often now, they are getting to be very common, and most people are going with the knock offs, there are even decent forged ones out there...

I personally think that the best looking wheels for the CLS are the 19" AMGs that are made for the CLS 55.

$6200 seems kinda high, let me see what I can price out with my boys (official sponsers of mbworld)
I'm not sure if you'll be able to fit 19x9.5 in the front. What I really would do is this.
19x8.5F (offset 29) + 19x9.5R (offset 35)
That'll come out to around
1425$ per rim in the front retail.
1495$ per rim in the rear retail.
However, I can get you all four for $4672.
Suggest tire sizes are
245/35 ZR 19 Front
275/30 ZR 19 Rear
(or 285/30 ZR 19 Rear)
If you want tires, I can arrange a good deal on those as well to your doorstep (or wherever you choose).

add about a grand, maybe more if youre getting good tires, to the $4600, add tax if you cant ditch it, and youre probably over 6k easy. i had meant $6200 with tires...

Let me actually pick out a few tires and we'll add it.
Dunlop Sport 9000
$207 retail FRONT
$238 retail REAR
I can a set of two fronts and two rears for $865.
So $865 + $4672 = $5537 final price.

to me, some are not so good looking and when you see the same wheels around on every other benz like yours...makes it worse for me. to answer your question, its a personalization thing.

putting rims on is like getting a new car!! makes a world of difference. im on my 8th car sicne ive been driving, and 10th set of aftermarket wheels, its a NECESSITY!!!

Adam's right - rims make a car (just gotta find somehting perfect) - it's up to you tho Natalie - the AMG rims are pretty hot standard on the sport, but even then I always want something different. On my old GS - yes the old Lexus comes up yet again - I had 18-inch chrome Antera 123's on it - the car was lowered pretty far (I was younger then) Anyhow, they were an older rim at the time but they were perfect on that car. I always like finding some obscure cool rims to put on - my Lowenharts I had last weren't very obscure tho, but they were cool for a few months - bent easy though - ended up giving them to a friend - I differ on opinion from most people though on how expensive the rims need to be - I like cheaper rims at times espcially if they're hot and good quality, because in L.A. they bend and crack so much with the shi**y roads it's easier just to toss them in the trash than to have them repaired. For instance you can get Brabus knock-offs great quality in 20's for about $300/per wheel vs. $1600+ per wheel for the real thing. Call me ghetto, but I can't throw out a $1,600.00 rim - I'm not that frivolous lol - and repairing them every six months is a pain.
Anyhow, the verdict is still out on what rim I'm gonna throw on my CLS - If I look at another magazine or website for fims I'm gonna go crazy...lol...but if anyone has any "good" ideas, let me know. I'm very interested. This car will look good with and without "lip", but i love a lot of "lip" on my wheels.

Wider rims always gives for a great agressive look from the rear, I agree with John, I love that deep dish look. I haven't looked into it yet, but I'm over all the brabus stuff, maybe a Kleeman. I like stock AMG for now but here's some food for thought.

Would definitely look better with AMG Package.

i typically like full face rims like those LDRs, but i think i may move to something a bit more "spokey" for the CLS. the car is more sporty, and i think the full face makes the car look a bit sluggish...But those LDRs still look cool.

Damn - those actually look surpirsingly hot on the car - I ordered iridium silver and I feel obligated to do chrome or polished lip and silver in the center - could go all chrome, but the pic above looks hot - I was thinking the same as Adam with the more "spoked" look or less full faced - it's a sport car and the rims are key - the rims are always truly the toughest decision to make on any car I've ever had.
