Expert wheel fitment help

https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...ire-combo.html

So if you read the thread you'll see I'm having some issues. I spoke with the wheel rep from the local shop and he said he'd allow me to change my 18x9.5 millennium for another wheel as long as it's from TSW or Mandrus. He also said if I want to use any of this companies "rear wheels" to make sure it's a flat wheel face with no lip otherwise it will contact my caliper. I really like the Maribeau but the guy is concerned it will rub also, despite it being concave. This boggles me since technically it should clear better than flat but what do I know. I've already botched the wheel choice up once.

The other wheel I like is the nurburgring, both wheels I prefer in flat black.

Lastly is the mandrus arrow. Sadly I think this will be the wheel cause I think it's the only one with appropriate offset. I'm looking for between 25 and 35 offset and the Maribeau and nurburgring seem to only come with 40 offsets. FML.

Small update it looks like I'm going with the TSW nurburgring in matte gunmetal. There's plenty of room for rotor clearance and even tho I can only find it in +40 offset I'll just grab some 12mm hubcentric spacers which will bring me to a total offset of +28 mm. Probably better off this happened cause for only $160 more I ended up with a forged wheel that will Probly look better in the end.
