Whose wheels should I buy?

Greetings,
Its time for me to upgrade the wheels on my '07 E550 4Matic. As its only driven in the Summer months, I'm thinking 'classic', 'stately' and 'elegant' are how I'd like the wheels to look. For now, price is not an issue.
While I've searched these forums, and did find a few companies to consider, I'm sure I'm missing many worthy contenders.
Whose wheels would you suggest I look at?

Thanks for your suggestions!

Thanks for your thoughts on this!
I'm not opposed to aftermarket wheels, as long as the quality is top-notch.
I've found a few Forgiato wheels that look interesting, though they are a bit more 'modern' than I originally thought I would like.
I wonder if the bolt heads could be on the backside of the first 2 wheels to provide a 'cleaner' look?
