With only 1,500 you can't get much. Maybe some wheels that wouldn't suit the style or status of your C-class. If you can put a few hundred more and get a nice set of 17" AMG 5 split spoke rims.

Pick the wheel, not the price. If the wheel you select is above your budget, start saving, but don't settle for a lesser wheel.

amg monoblocks

you think amg 18" monoblocks would be a good fit. Discount Tire is selling a set with yokohamas for 1850. I really can't decide on what really looks good on a c-240. does anybody have any advice

lihn,

The Carlsson 1/5's look the best on the SLK, well actually the Brabus Mono 4 multipiece look the best, but i had Chrome 1/5s' on my Magma red SLK and i got a lot of compliments, too bad i didn't take any digital pics before i sold it
