Cool Which original wheels do you like best?

I prefer the Mercedes AMG wheels myself. They appear to be simple to keep clean and have a undistinguished look about them. Let me know your opinion. You can also add your own wheels with photos to the discussion. Take care everyone!!!





I really prefer this of all of them. Nice simple but aggressive design and easiest to keep clean.





This is nice to but I know that brake dust will build up in those inner openings.





This is alright. Been seeing of lot of the S550's for sale with these on them. One thing, easy to keep clean.





Least liked. A serious brake dust magnet.

On a big German car be prepared to put effort into keeping your rims clean. If you have painted wheels and you let it bake on it won't matter which one of those you have.

Pic #1 IMO is the best looking OEM rim on the 221.

Just use ceramic pads and brake dust is virtually non-existent.

Your realize there are two versions of 20" 5 spoke?

Also, to the original poster, did you mean to show this wheel instead of the first one you posted? This is a little different and has brushed finish and painted on spoke.
