POLL: Which wheels?

I know I don't have an AMG but you guys seem to have the best taste in wheels. I've sold my MRRs to another member here and I'm considering one of the following wheels. The Sevas Forged are right at the edge of what I want to spend on a set of wheels and the VIP Modulars are more expensive but supposedly a better wheel. I don't track the car and with a paltry 302HP on tap, I'm not gonna be spinning these things all over the place either.

With that said, which ones do you like the best for my car. I'm leaning towards the R77's...

Very nice, I like!

Seriously though, you really can't go wrong here, imho. I have been thinking of throwing some new "boots on da whip" as well. I would take any of the above, no problem.

I am partial to the R55, but your preferred choice is right up there on my list!

Gluck!

I like the VR03 but they are all very similar. VR03 keeps with the twin spoke AMG look and spokes are not too skinny. They need the Mercedes centre cap to finish them off and retain a classy look.

VR05 is a nice wheel but it hides those beautiful massive brake callipers that scream to the world that this is one serious beast of a car without them even saying a word. Others would give their left nut to possess such a beautiful thing. Don’t hide em away. Am I right or what?

VR05. Use to have them on my old 545i and they bear a striking resemblance to R10s.

Yeah Ahmad, they are. Not as much more as you'd think, though. The Sevas Forged line are quite a bit more than the normal Sevas but not as much as the Modulars.

Jeff,

That pic of the R55's just sold me. I think I've made my decision.

Thanks guys!

I think there all nice, but first choice would be R77.

How much do these run?

The Sevas Forged list for 4000.00 but there is a group buy going on right now for 2950.00 (Shipped for 19")

The VIP Modulars list for about $5400.00
