Why does there have to be something wrong with them to change them? How about the AMG ones look better?

The AMG rims are nice but they look harder to clean. I would go for it if you had a good deal on them (and needed new tires if they're a different size).

Both 5 spoke rims look factory. My neighbor's factory rims on his Scion are almost identical to the AMG's.

IMHO, The upgrade not worth the extra money, because the upgrade will not change the apparence of the car that much from the look with the original rims.

I'd go with 3 or 4 spoke chromes for a more customized look.

Aluminium rims - the BBS showroom

thanks for the input guys! I guess the AMG's still look factory, I'll save up for some other rims , like the BBS mentioned above!

Those BBS wheels are hideous.

There is nothing wrong with factory wheels, if they look good.

Lorinser makes a set that look pretty cool, sort of reminscent of a propeller, IMO. If you want a look that's sort of like BBS, but more tailored and elegant for a Benz, look at Carlsson as they have some multi-spoke designs. Brabus also has nice rims, though they're not too different from the AMG, which is close to stock.

I agree with some of the others. If you like the wheels, get them. Obviously, not if they will get you in debt. Life's too short.

fiy yes i do have a girl that i can spend money on, but I'm not the type of guy that needs to throw cash at girls to keep them. This is irrelevant to the thread as well.
