Which wheel?
Thinking about getting new wheels and wanted to get some feedback from the group... which wheel do you prefer? My E55 is Brilliant Silver... Both classic.

CLK63 Black Series
Are those BBS LM's knock offs? My vote is for BBS LM first, then the other ones (E63?) next.

I think they'll both look good

Hehe, I'm no help here. I got both! My CLS55 is silver and my BBS LM is flat black faces with machine lips.

I'm partial to the CLS wheels. We are assuming both are staggered right?

I have the CLS rims in matte black from that company and they show off the monster AMG brakes as well as a nice concave.

chawkins2001-looks menacing. Centercaps are win.

IMO-The LMs or LM style wheels look great in larger sizes, 19 nice, 20 better. If you're looking at 18s though the LM looks too small because of the step lip. CLS is only way to go here.
