New Rims...Need opinions...

Hey guys,

So I took the plunge and bought a set of second rims for the winter time.... I purchased them through Vassili and power wheels pro.... I have to say they did a great job shipping the rims as it only took 2 days to get to my door step..

But here is my dilemma... I orginally bought these rims just for the winter time. I live on the east coast and my E is not 4matic... So I purchased them 18x8 all the way around. SInce my car is not 4matic, my AMG sport rims are Staggard. I like the style of the rims I just bought and was contemplating putting the new rims as my summer set and the OEM rims as my winter set. Do you guys think NOn staggard rims will look off a bit from OEM? I think the OEM's are 18x8 and 18x8.5... I dont think its going to look that different but just wanted to get your opinions.... Ohh also for those who bought from Vassili, do you think i will need new lug nuts... I dont think so....

THanks...

Here are the rims I got... THey are sick looking...

non-staggered setup might not look as flush but shouldn't look that off

You could always throw on some spacers to get them more flush
