Any advice on chips?

Hi, I was thinking of chipping my CLK500 (209), anyone have any advice which chips offer better acceleration, not too bothered about top end. Also has anyone had a problem getting new wheels for the CLK500, the disc callipers on the front are larger then the other CLK's and most wheels i have tried do not clear them.

rrichard: ECU upgrades don't offer much advantage for MB's... it usually has to be a bit more then that for the good stuff to show through.

Whilst some companies might say that you'll get 30 extra hp, it's usually closer to 10, or even nothing at all. Maybe you can get better headers or something that truly adds 30hp to your ride.
