Its time to make a decision

Guys,

I have 2 sets of wheels and tires and I need to decide what to sell and what to keep on the car. I am not in love with either so I would like some help. At the end of this poll I will sell the loosing set.

they both look good, but i personally would go with the sport versions.

They make the car look like what it is (not an e55 wannabe) and the ride will be softer with the 17s.

I like monos. For my restoration project - aluminum body Airstream trailer I bought wheels with solid rounded rim. With baby moon covers they really stand up.

To be honest, if your not strapped for money or in need of space and can't have both sets, I'd keep both. The AMG's look real sweet and are classics, you don't wanna let go, but the sport rims look good on a nice day. I'd keep both if I could.

Not so much wannabe, I think the OE 17"s are getting hard to find=rare. Monos are all over the place (knock offs too).

Wow,

Looks like the Sport wheels my go back on! I would like to keep both sets but I don't have room to properly store them. My issue is as Sly stated, both wheels look good on the car. But, as everyone else stated, its not a E55 and should look like a Sport.

So there's your answer. Keep the 17"s and sell the AMGs for a premium?

WHAT?! This is madness. This is the only forum on the entire board where I've ever seen a crowd of folk tell someone to "LOSE the 18" Monoblocks"[???] And from your above quote, acarter, this sounds ... just.. wrong, even to YOU. The long money is ALWAYS on the monos, there is nothing rare or overly valuble about those sport 5 stars. I've bought monoblocks, drove on 'em, then sold them for the same money I gave.
