Which Wheels?
I have the modest E200K. Thinking up spicing it up with 2 mods, i.e. Kleemann K-Box pulley kit and upgrade from OEM Elegence 16" wheels (which seem pretty undersized) to 17" or 18". Just wondering which wheels should I go for?
I have a few in mind (see poll). Opinions?
Also, what tyre size should go with 18" setup?
Thanks.

AMG 18"
17" Avantgarde Style
Brabus Monoblock VI 18" Single Piece

The Carlsson wheels are what we call "rice" 
in the US, meaning that you might see them on a Honda or Acura, but not on a Mercedes. The AMG or Brabus wheels are more appropriate for a Benz. But why should you care what I think? I'm just pixels on your computer display. Get the wheels that you like.

Thanks for the feedback. Never knew Carlsson is known to be ricy in US and more for Japanese cars? Always thought Carlsson is more an European tuner type, like Kleemann.
Prices for the 18" seems to be pretty consistent, around S$700 to S$800 per piece. The 17" SIR Avantgarde is around S$350.
But I understand tyre costs also plays a part. Seems 245/40-18 costs around S$400 compared to around S$250 for 17".

But it's your car. It's your opinion that matters the most.
