Wheels suggestions for SL55 ///AMG

Ok guys just bought a mars red sl55 amg and need to upgrade to better wheels. the current wheels are 18" OEM 5 spoke. Looking for some other wheels. NOT black. i was thinking like a silver 5 spoke and a huge curve from the centre to the outline kind of like the giovanna dalar 5.
Please give your suggestions. posting a few pics too.







MY CURRENT WHEELS.



ANOTHER OPTION.



THANKS

CLS 19's look great on the SL. Keeps the classic character of the car without the ghetto look.

I have the OE 19's on my PP SL 55

and they do look nice. But I do find myself missing the 20's I had on my previous SL. I have the dilemma of wanting to do something more but not wanting to "cheapen" the car....I think a lof of folks use the 19" 3 piece to identify the fact that it is a Performance package car. Frankly, I too like the 19" CLS style, but is that backing up? I also have seen the Monarch copies in 20" on SL, and they look great. You are right, the Renntech Mono and their new 3 piece wheels look great, but the prices are now so high that they challenge good sense (they now want close to $6 THOUSAND dollars for the one piece ones, and almost EIGHT k for the new three piecers). I'll put up a picture of my Mars red car with the 19's when I get to the office. Would be interested in what others think...

OK, heres' the 19" AMG 3 piece....

on a 55. They look nice, car is just too high here. And I really miss my 20's off my old SL. I'll post more pix from the other computer that have the proper ride height.
