Aftermarket wheels for my SLK55 AMG!

I was planning to keep my SLK55 stock for a year or two but some friends of mine told me to go for lighter 18" or 19" wheels, Any nice multispoke wheels out there ?

I am looking for a Anthratice or black wheels with Chrome lip

the stock wheels weight 26.9 upfront and 28.2 for the rear

How about 19 inch SL65 wheels. I think they are called AMG double spoke 2 piece wheels.

Yes and no,

Advantage: Looks sexy on the SLK55
Disadvantage: They weight around 30lbs each
