Which Wheels look best?

Hi guys. I am looking for some advice regarding the wheels on my CLS. My son has been wanting me to buy wheels off an SL65 AMG ever since i got my CLS and now i find a set on ebay.

My question is which ones look better on a CLS.

Thanks

RE: Which Wheels look best?

I like the looks of the first ones better. But, IMO it's a little too dark for the color of your CLS.

The second one on the hand is kinda ugly.

Go with the first one.

RE: Which Wheels look best?

All depends on your age really:-

If you're under 30 the first set will be preferred and you will find it easier to sell the car on in a year or two for good money..

Personally, I think the second set (although less exciting), are very tasteful and truly compliment the beautiful style of this amazing car!

Why not wait until the public stop noticing what you already have and then go for a rim upgrade later.

but if i was to chose between the two, i would say go with the SL 65 Rims. They are very rare, and give the car a special look. Don't get the second ones, cuz lots of people have those, and they are a factory option. The 65 rims only come on 65 AMG's and will give your car a unique look.

Thanks for all your input but 65 wheels are very pricey. Probably 5-6 thousand pounds, 10 thousand dollars and it has already cost me 3,000 pounds for the 19" AMG factory fits.

Maybe an upgrade for the future. The Beauty of where i live is that there are only four CLS`s going around, all whith those ridiculous looking 17s and 18s.

Cheers!

The 65 wheels are great, but they will look bad with the color you have. The second wheels are horrible. Between the two I would get the 65's. I have a siver 911 and the best color and silver cars, hand down is BLACK. That other guys is right thoses brabus wheels in black look the best.
