Which one should I get ?
I'm debating between AMG and Lorinser for my E320. I would want only 17", since I put 3000-3500 miles/month.
I was quoted around $470 for the 17" AMG rim (each), and $670 for the lorinser (both are with tripple layer chrome). Is that a good price ? Any body know any place that can offer better price in the LA area ?
Here's picture of the AMG

I agree with Tarik, I would go with 18's over 17's all day long! mbznchik, what color is your Benz? If it's silver then IMO, I wouldn't go with chrome but any other color should be nice. Tarik's ride looks tight with the chrome 18" AMG's as it is white. I have 19's on my silver E and they are silver as well. BTW, if you haven't already, check out www.ebay.com for wheels. Here is a link for some 19's: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33748 Here is another one for some Brabus 18's off a C class but the offset is the same as E: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=38662
Much luck with your search and purchase. Post some pics. of your Benz once it's done...

bmnzchick, get the 17 if that is your preference. If you want to retain more of the cars comfort only go 17". If you just want looks and less comfort get 18". 18's are more subceptible to damage than 17's. The recommended tire for the 17" is 235/45/17 while the recommended tire for the 18" is 235/40/18. That 235/40/18 has very little sidewall and is not a forgiving tire because the side wall is very, very thin having a harder ride.
That AMG wheel in chrome is cheaper at www.tirerack.com - $417. Good Luck!
