Opinion on wheels

I've decided after I lower it, in the spring I plan to get new wheels and tires. I think i'm gonna go with this style.

However, i really like these...

Do you guys know any other wheels out there with that kind of style and lip?

Not a fan of mesh style wheels on our older cars, but it's your car, so best of luck!

Both are going to be hard to rock without some serious lowering, aggressive body styling and a massive brake kit.

I tried these 19" HP evo wheels but i don't think they go with our cars either.
I would say black with a stainless steel lip would look much better.

The 2nd one is Audi and WILL NOT fit.

I agree. The newer Audi's have the same bolt pattern but the hub is smaller. I tired to use a set of Audi spacers on my car and the hub was too big. MB wheels are hub centric so thats important

This might be the closest you are going to get to that style... http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/mer...poke_wheel_235 I agree, don't think that style would look very good on your car. And you are going to be hard pressed to get a lip over 1-2 inches with our offset.... I am still looking for a set of Aero 1's in good shape but may end up settling for some Mandrus Wheels- http://www.mandruswheels.com/

the depth of dish on those wheels are lovely, I like them... I have been searching for some wheels i really want, but the cost/style is a bit of a bugger. But this place is good, they make any wheel to any stud pattern/offset etc...
