What are the best l00king wheels for the SL55?

Just purchased a 2005 SL55.
It's on it's way from California (I'm in NY).
Can't wait and already have the upgrade bug.
the car comes with the upgraded AMG multi-spoke wheels.

Since nothing makes a car stand out more then the wheels, I was wondering what you guys recommend and have yourself?

Pictures would be awesome!

thanks in advance.

some of my favorites.
I really like the Carlssons, but they're like 6K
I like the AMG replicas with the deep lip better then i like the AMG originals.
due to the lip.
I also think the ones that look like the Carlssons but are under 2K are nice.

your thoughts?

LOL... okay. I can hear you. But then you have to say the same about original SLR rims, too. The Lorinser RS8 are pretty big in Germany... and you'll see them quite a lot here.

The wheels that come standard with the SL63 look good.
