If I had to choose out of those three, I'd go for the LD5's but with a brushed finish...now if you asked me what I would put on there myself, it'd be these...

Simple yet classy, Wald Streifen 1, 3pc (only available in 19"s though)

here's a pic

This will definately be a difficult decision. I do like the rims you posted genearch. I will have to check fitment as I do not want rims that I will have to use spacers for. I had them on my CL and I think it contributed heavily to the crappy ride. I have the staggered 18" AMG 5-spokes on now which are beautiful IMHO.

None of those three..

Out of your 3 choices I would go with the LD5's. Not a fan of those dinner plate like wheels. I like the wheels that genearch and Seize posts more though.

I also vote for these or some of the IForged, or HRE models , in a brushed finish.
