I like the last ones. The polished look will go well with your silver ride. Plus they're sporty with some sophistication, like the CLK.

Against my will I put a poll up. I don't like polls because with a poll people usually don't respond with comments about what they like better about one more than the other, but POLL TIME!

Im not much for bling either, but I like the design of #2 the most. If you decide otherwise, I think 3 would be the next best alternative. I like #2 because of the sporke design and if youre going aftermarket and have RWD you gotta get wheels with a lip!

3 by far, the spokes on number 1 are too thick and the wheel looks boring, and number 2 is just ugly

I would go for option 3, I think they would set your car off nicely.


The important question is what SIZE are u going to get?
