2010 GLK 4matic
Which would you chose?

Ok I am having a situation I am torn on which wheels to purchase.
My GLK came with the 19 inch wheels stock which were not my favorites but at the time this vehicle had everything I wanted for the price, so we make sacrifices but probably shouldnt.

Anyway, I can either upgrade to the 20 inch Sport 7 spoke wheels with tires new for $1475 is what he is offering them shipped

or

I can get the 20x10 TSW Londrina wheels just the wheels in either gunmetal or chrome from 1300-1800.

If you vote for the Londrina should i get gunmetal or chrome my glk is black. Let me know

The Londrina link is attached http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-rim...na-chrome.html

I look forward to your opinions

Def black ones, esp. if your car is black.

the 10" wide rim may be to wide for the front. if you didn't have 4matic you could run staggered and have the 10" in the rear and the 8.5"s in the front. it may be pretty risky to buy the 10" wide rims and have them not fit, so you may be safer going with the 8.5" and fit a wider tire...? also make sure the offset will work.
also it's pretty obvious which finish i prefer. CHROME!!
and remember when you have tires installed, have them take out your factory TPMS and put them in the new rims.

Ya I will probably go with the 8.5 for that very reason of them not wanting to fit, and i will have them remove the sensors which i think is a pain to have to pay to have them dismount and remount the tires on the old wheels. Anyway. I am hesitant to get the black ones because i dont know if they are black or more of a gray. I am also hesitant to get the chrome but mine does have the chrome inserts in door handles and foglight chrome but not chrome rack so i just do not know. Id like to hear some more opinions

You are driving a Benz... you should have a nice set of MB wheels. That's it.

Came from a Lexus IS250 AWD
Question - So can he purchase 20x10 TSW Londrina wheels for front and back on 20.8.5 size tires or does he need to get the different size tires?

I'm looking to purchase Avarus AV4 Chrome Plated 20.10 for a very cheap price but I wanted to know if it could fit on 235/45-20 tires instead of 255/40/20 tires?

Advise is welcome
