2012 CLS63 AMG Performace - Obsidian Black
This was originally a $100,000 car; due to it's nature and design, adding aftermarket rims simply cheapen it. The fact that you're willing to "change the front" and lower it tells me that you may not actually be a Mercedes Benz enthusiast- hence the jeers you'll get on this site. JMHO.
Good luck.
As far as the rims go, well, to each his own, I guess. My opinion- a bit under the car's class level. Attention goes immediately to the rims, not to the car, because they look out of place. And in the process, you may as well be driving an Infiniti J35 or an Altima- I guess the car just loses its distinctively "Mercedes" feel with any aftermarket rims, and looks like you bought it from a 12 car, "we finance anyone" type of lot. JMHO.
