Wheel Opinions?

I am wanting to buy a set of wheel for my black 2012 E550 Cab and am looking at three options all about the same price. These would be just used in the summer and I am leaning towards the chrome. Does anyone have chrome anymore? Opinions?

I am not a fan of aftermarket wheels on a Benz. If I were going to update for looks or performance I would go with an OEM alternative like an AMG upgrade. I also think chrome wheels do not blend well with your car. But everything is a matter of personal taste.

I actually have been trying to find a set of AMG wheels for my car for about a year. New one are a bit out of my price range and used ones are scarce. It seems every time I think I found a set, the owner can't be bothered. There is a set right about 3 hours away from me that I would love to have, but the owner is too lazy to look on the back and send my the offsets.

I like the look of the bronze rims, but would prefer them in a silver. I think chrome is somewhat out of style now.

I ended up buying the MRR GF6 wheels. I was hoping to fit a 19x10.5 in the rear, but MRR advised against it, so I went with a 19x9.5.
