Question Need your input.

Really tossing between these 2 sets of wheels. The first are similar to the stock Sportline wheels and the second set are replicas of the New E Class wheels. Please help!

Done the pic for u

What wheels have u got now? IMO, sportier looking wheels will need to be complimented with some lowering.

If you like the 5-spoke look, I'd suggest the Lorinser LM5 (I think that's what its called, inset) or Carlsson 1/5 (one piece with no bolts on the rim) or 2/5 (2-pc with bolts, also inset). Why swap between OEM standard (looking) wheels? I'm sure you can pick some tuner brand wheels quite cheaply on Ebay.

But if I must choose between those two, I'd probably opt for the new E look (similar to the Lorinser).

Yeah I agree with the second pic (replica E's) as well if you had to chose between the 2. I would definately go with the LM5's though if I were looking for a 5 star. They are one of my favorite wheels...

Again thanks for all of the input, I am looking for something to freshen the look of my car but keep it looking somewhat stock. I currently have the 5 hole 17" stock wheels which I will put my winter rubber on. I'm planning to purchase from Highline Wheels in Miami, Fl, any of you dealt with them before?
