Looking to get new wheels

So I am currently running 20" giovann Kilis wheels "which are for sale" and I am looking to go back to a stock look. Wanted to see what your guys thoughts were on the 19" AMG replicas vs the oem wheels. I see alot of people with the reps and considering the fact that oem's are cast and not forged, I don't think it would make much difference. Any suggestions would be great and if anyone has some for sale would be even better!!

The AMG wheels (most of them at least) are cast. The offsets are usually different though on reps vs. OEM and there has been some reps with suspect quality and strength. You can find used sets of AMG wheels and have them refinished as a cheaper option. I just bought a set of refinished OEM CLS wheels off a member here, and will be posting pics this week after my tires arrive.

For more of a stock look id either go with the sl65 wheels or the cls55 wheels.. The sl wheels come in 19s and are very pricey for oem wheels.. The cls wheels come in 18s and 19s I believe .... You can find these wheels with not much difficulty.. Or just get some cls reps, which are very cheap..
