Which do you like better?

[qtlilbrownboy]

So guys, I have a 2000 CLK320, and I have a decision to make.

I have a set of 2002 CLK430 AMG rims (not staggered), but what I really want is a set of 2000-2001 430 AMG rims (staggered).

I've found a picture of a car that actually has both mounted (see attachment), or:

Mercedes-Benz : CLK-Class - (eBay.ca item 180203306208 end time 25-Jan-08 14:23:21 EST)

Which one do you guys like, the driver's side front, or driver's side rear?

i like the older ones better...the ones like on my 99 ...and on 3/4 of that car lol

Rear ones I think looks better.

Rears look better unless you have a brake kit to show off

My thoughts exactly, old bean.

I like the rears as well...our cars are a wee bit chunky or maybe stubby, so the thicker spokes work better. My mom's sl500 (r129) has the thinner spoke style, and they look better on that car.

I'd say the older model for w208

that set of rims is standard on the 430s.... i didnt know that is what was meant by staggered though.
I call it deep dish. lol... kinda like pizza hut.

but eitherway, it is supposed to be a wider rim ( 9-10) in the back ( deep dish) and the (8-8.5) in the front

As a matter of fact I have a set that i took off of my 430! lol, i just remembered that.

I'd be willing to sell them. perfect condition. they are origional AMG rims and 17".

staggered means the front width is different from the rear width...often staggered rims have a deep dish, but not necessarily.

...get the rears !

If any of you guys know where I can find the 2000-2001 style, lemme know, I'm still looking for them.
