+1 You got to have some lip but I do like the Look of #3 though too...

I'm not sure about those ebay wheels, they look ok in the pics but the price has me concerned about the quality. Assuming the quality is as good as the AMG wheels I'd go with the third link. Otherwise I'd look around the AMG forums and find a set of AMG wheels. Nothing wrong with the Hammer!!!

The 3rd ones look like they would go nicely with your car.

#3 seems to be whipping tail pretty good

I'd buy the wald, but I don't keep my "side cars" (aka toys) longer than a year usually. I'd buy the 19's, but I'd warp them on my mountain because i drive like I stole it.

So, 18's... and not too pricey. They'll only be on the car for a year, and they gotta hold up to my driving style. That's why this is the "toy".

A replica of the walds or the ones seize posted........ quite possible. #3 have it on lock right now though.

#3 gets the vote for me. They definitely have the upscale, but sporty look.

OLT, have you even considered the Brabus wheels?

I voted for #3. It will give your car a "newer" appearance. Choice #1 is too synonymous with MB. As for choice #2, just stay away from Stern.

I don't want a "newer" appearance. Just a good looking set of wheels. Hell the car was only discontinued 3 yrs ago. It isn't like a '76 Chevelle

Haha. Didn't mean to make your car sound old. You know what I mean. Let me restate it then.... choice #3 because I think it looks the best out of the three.

Just don't get number 2. They're so ugly I felt the need to post twice in this thread to warn you away from them

By the way, the 1st gen CLK is a really good looking car. The new one looks way too smooth and feminine for me
