The middle are AMG 18" split-spoke probably staggard setup with wider wheels and tires in the back. They were stock on the E55. I run this setup with Michelin PSS in the summer and it's great lots of grip, and firmer than the 16".
The bottom are 16" and came stock on my 06 E320 CDI. The front is polished Aluminum and all the insets are painted; some of my Al has oxidized. These are usually a square setup with the same size wheels and tires all around. I run this with snow tires in the winter. These absorb potholes really well, are more plush ride, cheaper, and give a few MPG increase.
Your pics don't look like the US or somewhere that gets a lot of snow. So I'd opt for the 18" AMG they look better. Search my posts and you'll see pics of mine.
PS - The wheels on your car look like W210 style (older model) so I think either would be an improvement.

If you want elegant, I'd go for the OEM+ look.
- E55 or E63 Front Conversion with the Carlson lip (all other front lips are either too aggressive or gaudy)
- E55/E63 Side/Rear
- E55/C63/CLS55 Exhaust
- Aftermarket Coilovers or Air Suspension
- OEM 19" CLS Rears (all around) or Titanium SL55 Wheels or some clean 5 spoke wheels
Plus don't forget to hang one of those large metal *******'s from the rear bumper--FYI that's a great grounding source for any audio enhancements!!
hahahaha! if i had a penny everytime...
OP: it all depends with your taste. not that I dont like stock or AMG wheels but, if you want your car to be stand out, be different...

Eschewing the esteemed Plutoe's suggestions...
If you live someplace where snow and ice are an issue, consider two sets of wheels. Keep a simple 5 spoke with as few nooks and crannies to collect crap for winter. Either way, 5 spokes, split or not, is pretty sweet.
Also, do not forget to have the windows tinted as dark as is legal in your area. 30% here in Colorado.
Then replace that plain old grill with a 5 fin emblem dealio, and rip the bug catcher/future belt buckle off the hood before some f-tard does, and replace it with a nice star badge.
