The wheels in Pic 1 look much better if you looking for the stock look. If you want something a little more sporty, keep looking.

I don't like the wheels in Pic 2 at all.

Top photo!

First pic. I don't think the ones in the second pic fit the look of the car.

Incurable · 11 September 2008, 10:53 AM

Wow, no wonder I'm on my 4th set of wheels...

I actually like the second better. The first set look clunky to me (OEM stature aside). Go figure... different strokes I guess.

Are both pics of your car? The reason I ask is that in the top photo the car looks to be lowered and much sportier than in the 2nd pic. I think that may be a consideration when choosing the wheels.

Easy: The top 2 on one side - the bottom 2 on the other - sheesh! LOL

Pictures number one. The second ones look like they would be on a pimpmobile. No offense but they do not go with the car at all.

Top. IMO the finer 'spoke' pattern is too small in scale relative to the simple lines of the car. Too fussy methinks.

Thank you all for the imputs, we have to see how it ends.

The first if your after a "old school classic" look, second if your a more modern racer look.

To me they're both great wheels, I'd have the top ones for the winter (easy to clean) and old school cool, The second set for the summer (more difficult to clean) and they look faster going slow

1st ones - they are more of a classical AMG style wheels for Mercs.

it looks great with deeper "dish/lip" on the rear wheels.
