Hey OLT,
Have you seen ebay rims in person before? They look like crap. I wouldn't get any of those.
In fact, I have seen very few aftermarket rims that look good on W208 CLK's. Your stockers and the AMG 55 dish wheels are among the best looking rims for the CLK. They're simple, classy, and match perfectly with a silver exterior.
Personally, I'd only replace them with real Brabus, Wald, or Lorinser rims...
edit: As far as lowering the car, I'd look for a used suspension off a CLK55 on the forums. It's pretty well sorted, and the shocks are heavy duty Bilsteins.

OK I have a new style to consider. These were the only one's I have seen that I even considered lately. They aren't "fantastic", but they are pretty decent, eh?

UHG....... they have to be strong enough not to bend, but they won't be on the car long enough to justify buying "high dollar" wheels. My time is running out for this car. I never keep a car longer than a year or two and this one has been around a while. I need to slap some decent wheels on it before I sell it to accomplish my mission. LOL.
