Okay - I have evolved my thought process now that alot of you recommend staggered set-ups on the SLK... here is a pic of my remaining choices for rims (description below for each number)
1 - Nice rims but not available staggered front and rear
2 - Borbets offered in staggered
3 - Offered Staggered - Black inside 2-piece
4 - Cost-effective but not offered staggered

What size are you going with? What is your budget?
I have attached extra large pictures of the rims themselves... I am going for 18" rims all around. My budget is flexible, but I am more attuned to the overall look on the car. Some rims I just do not care for - the ones listed below are most attuned to my taste of all the rims I have seen.
each rim is 1-4 sequentially from my above picture...

This one looks the best to me. The black goes well with the rest of your parts.

The darker center w/ polished lip makes the car looks meaner. I have this combo on mine. The original was just OEM polished w/ clear coat. Mine is 18x8.5 on both front & back & about 22 lb each
why are you keeping your options in a nutshell ??? there are SOOOOOOOOOOO many nice rims out there that tirerack-(im assuming by the pics) does not sell....... in those pictures, id go for the Staggered borbets... but id look outside the box when shopping for rims if i were you.... people ase for Budget when buying for rims because this is a BIG deciding factor... also, what exactly are you looking for in a rim ?
For example.. the first time I was wheel/tire shopping for my car I had a $1800 budget and wanted wheels that would add to the car in every way possible and that would pass as "sport o.e.m" wheels to the "untrained" eye... that is why I went for the Brabus reps... because no matter how you look at them or who you show them too they always add to the car... I now sadly have to admit that I am bored on the look and ready to move on but not to sell them, Im planning un purchasing a MUCH more aggressive and high-end setup but still keeping these 18s as my "roadtrip / track / spare" wheels....
