Help me pick wheels for my car, please!
Ok, well...so far I haven't found any wheels for the CL that I just HAVE to have. But, anything has to be better than the look of the stockers I have. So, I would appreciate if you guys would add your comments on the wheels...and please excuse my poor photoshop skills, this was all done in Paint, so I already know they don't look good...but you get the idea. The only wheels I will not consider are the AMG split spokes...just too common for what I'm going for. At the moment, I think I am leaning toward the V713s...but I dunno...
Also, several of the pictures are not of my car, but I needed to use black CLs for the proper effect...but if you are the owner of one of these cars and want the picture removed, let me know.
EDIT: I added CCW 505a's to the picture list...but I don't know how to edit the poll, so if you vote for them just post it up!

After looking more closely, I think I like the 818's the best of the bunch, wish they were offered in 19", but I guess 18s are still not bad (at least tires will be easy to find). The Mono V's do seem a bit too chunky.
Not really sure I have a max. If I could find wheels I LOVED I would probably pay whatever the cost. As for right now, for instance, I don't really LOVE any of them as the wheel design I would like isn't made...so that's why I'm staying cheap for now...just something to tide me over.
What did you have in mind?

new balance
I would without a doubt be looking at a 19" 1 piece forged rim...much stronger and lighter then a cast wheel and much stronger then a 3 piece forged. My wheels are discontinued 
but if I had to do it over again I would be looking at CCWheels....

I had CCW's drag pack on my Firebird for a while before I went to the Billet Specialities...they are good wheels, just not sure if I like any of their styles on my car; but I'll take another look.
I added CCW 505a's to the first post.

I like them as well...I just don't love them. My thing is...IF I loved them, I would buy his wheels right now. However, I don't like them $1,700 better than the 818s, if that makes sense.
BTW, the wheels I chopped onto my car are from your pictures in the V12TT section...hope you don't mind.

I like the CCW 505a's out of that list.
Give Derrick at D2 autosport a call. They've got a bunch of newly released wheels that look fantastic.

I like your Rads...I'm just too much a tightwad for them...haha!
I actually like the 818s, but I would actually like to see an 818/Euro63 crossbred wheel...call me classless!
