Too bad there are no pics of those on an ML63.
A set below $1K would be nice. Mandrus wheels are beautiful but lots of spokes mean lots of cleaning.

I have damaged my 20s on three separate occasions...twice on steel plates that shifted and one on a pot hole.
Just a thought. Jeez.

You do realize that a wheel that retails for $1000 a set is most likely a cheaply made wheel that is more prone to cracking/bending then a higher quality forged wheel? If bad roads are your conern look into a 1 pc FORGED wheel.. it's for your own benefit. As for theft, it costs me $5/month extra on my insurance to insure my wheels for full value.

If you have very poor road conditions, I would also recommend staying with OEM wheel and stick with the OE sizes. This allows more tire sidewall. No matter what, aftermarket wheels require more care and driving caution than the OE configuration.
As WhitePano states, you must be careful regarding quality of a wheel for a heavy SUV type vehicle. They tend to be heavy which could cause your vehicle to performance poorly and they are more prone to breaking.
