Not sure if they have a US Division or not but you may want to contact Peter at Wheelexperts and see what he says. He might be able to help. Just click the link on my sig.

Peter @ wheelexperts is definitely someone you should call for any advice on rims. He is VERY helpful and will help you choose the best set of wheels for your ride. I'm sure many on the board can vouch for him...including me

E 63S Wagon Renntech, E55 Renntech, SL65, SL 55 030, ML, bunch of old ones--they come, they go...
LM's for me too...
probably one of the most beautiful wheels ever designed. Light, strong, and true. Far lighter and stronger than the AMG (Ronal) wheels, as they are forged and not cast. They are also easily repairable as they can be disassembled. Yes, the Inden wheels do look fantastic, but I think you'd have to deal with them directly, which may be a bit scary for some folks. Also, what do you do about a possible warranty issue, and I'm almost sure you'd have some interference with the biggest sizes. Look at thier webpage for some of the fender modifying they have to do....

Here's a close-up view of this stunning wheel:

My vote is for Carlsson Rims as well. Specifically the 2/5 rims in 18 or 19 inch.
MMGrad on this forum has them, and they're not cheap.
They're sick! As you can see:

Personally, out of the 2 I would say the BBS wins in this case. A classic style. I like the AMG 2pc wheel but when spending 4+K on wheels, i've always felt they should not be a factory option that anyone can get from the dealership.
However, I would agree with the others that the HRE C20 would possibly be an even better option thanks to sub-20 lb weights for 19" diameters. Plus customizable offsets can allow you the use of 285/30 rear tires without fender modifications.
