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.

HRE wheels are the only way to go IMHO.

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.
