thats what i was thinking

Yes but you dont put 1 piece cast wheels on a mercedez. On a Nissan or Toyota its fine but on a luxury car or any car for that matter the wheels make or break it.

Ah ok, used once that are 10 years old and in good condition (but with milage under the hood) are around $50K here.

I thought it was new hehe. But we have insane car prices lol

statistically yes :)
but on the other hand statistics are like bikinis, they reveal everything but the important part :)

10 year old "regular" MB is a luxury car? These goes for 6K Eur plus in Europe right now (not sure how much in the states, but usually cars, even German, are cheaper there).
Original wheels on that benz were 1 piece ... At least 90% of those MB's run on 1 peace wheels.. There is absolutely no need for 2 or 3 peace. Of course to each his own, but your point of view is not a norm, rather the exception.
2 cents :)

They stopped making the clk version It's not 10 years old yet, But isn't far away either. I got it with about 94K miles on it. The old one I drove I put about 250K miles on it and still runs perfect.

I say keep them factory, they look nice that way

What country are you in?

Im talking about aftermarket 1 piece cast wheels, OEM wheels are the exception. Youd be hard pressed to find 1 piece cast rims that are of OEM quality in an aftermarket Wheel and if you do theyre most likely racing wheels and cold casted. Its a luxury car regardless, you dont put pep boy/ebay special 1 piece cast wheels on it, thats the point in trying to make :) :thumbsup

what about going OEM+ , example the CLK AMG wheels? They are already made to flow well with the car. :2 cents:

Yeah that was the first thing I wanted to do, and they have a nice 5 star with a small lip. But when I seen the new two tone wheels, they really caught my attention.

Your point of view is understandable, but not the norm. I have similar car, my friends from car club and regular friends have cars like CLK, CLS, BMW E92 etc etc, most have aftermarket wheels and I doubt even a single one has non 1 peace wheels. Thats why I said your point of view is not a norm.
I understand "the need" for 3 peace wheels on lambo/maseratti/ferrari etc... But not on "regular" cars like MB, BMW etc (except maybe their flagship models, but even then..)

You cant custom fit a 1 piece cast wheel, you can custom fit a 2 or 3 piece wheel since theyre machined. I just like to do things right and have things fit perfect so i dont put cast on my cars, plus forged is stonger. If you put a 1 piece cast wheel on a BMW or Mercedes or any car for that matter and expect and performance out of it then youre mistaken and you just wasted your money :). I doubt your MB/BMW friends would do such an atrocity to their vehicles in all honesty. Regardless it seems like an OEM Upgrade is what the OP wants, an AMG wheel would look right at home on his ride.
