About the wheels Davo,,,the dealer checked the part # and told me they are stock C55 wheels.Not that it matters,cause I like em plenty. 
Now,WTF are you gonna do?
Changing again for heavy wheels?They are nice,but the ones you have now are nicey too.You are a man of many spokes 
I would sleep on it for a while.Your present style is real nice.

Mmmmm, guess the vote is kinda unanimous but I seriously wonder what the choices would be if I'd never mentioned the weight thing......fact is, mine's half or more than half the weight of what most everyone else has got, so its not that much of a sacrifice in the real world. As for old school, CH's are indeed a classic that was way ahead of its time, its design was somewhat revolutionary to the extent that it was not liked by everybody. Its design has now been revived in those hot Ferrari SC's wheels .....I think they might just become popular (again), who knows......

They are 17" only, I feel the control is better and still smooth, not hard!
I like them.
Since, our white cars are TAXIs in Europe, you should say two Whitey's taxi here. :p . I fotgot Alex.... :p

I am looking forward to seeing your ride, too!
I believe your W209 should look better than mine.
