Chrome rims suggestions?

Brabus rims are expensive.. very. So i am planning on getting 18's. They must be chrome and flashy

Does anyone have any suggestions right of the bat? Some pics? maker, price, etc. thanks

'02 SLK32 AMG

In general, for 18-inch rims:

Bolt pattern: 5x112mm (same as all Mercedes).
Front Offset: 35-37mm
Front Width: 7-8.5 inch
Front tires: 225/40R18
Rear Offset: 30-37mm
Rear Width: 7-10in
Rear tires: 225/40R18, 245/35R18 or 255/35R18,

You can deviate from these numbers a little, and some depend on others.

An easy setup would be 8x18ET35 rims with 225/40R18 tires on all 4 corners.

Tirerack.com has a nice configurator where you can see a bunch of different wheels on an SLK.
