not sure why theres so many negative comments. they may be rep's but they are still designed for Merc's, to say they give an aftermarket look is a bit stretched tbh. Think they work very nicely. The same pair (albeit 18") are factory specced for the cls grand edition i've got coming through and they look great.
For me it's not that the new ones look bad, it's just that the originals look better.Either way -luvverly car

The SLR pictures do indeed paint them in a better light.
Going on the iPad pictures I would say stick with the originals.
Now I've seen decent pictures.... I'm not sure!
I like both
This tbh. the second lot of pictures make them look much nicer, and im not 100% sure which i like best. swaying more towards the originals because i prefer the oem look. but both look nice.Going on the iPad pictures I would say stick with the originals.

Combined with the lowering I think the new wheels really suit it. I'd keep them if it was me.
Conversely, I think that the net effect has all but robbed the car of any class it once had. Now it is less 'high-flier', and more 'drug-pusher'.But hey, life would be boring if we were all the same, and this guy clearly likes the attention.

It's gone from something you might see parked outside a country club to something you'd see parked outside a dodgy takeaway!
This.Kinda hits the nail on the head. They're not what you'd call 'in good taste'. If anything it looks as if you're trying too hard.
It's a beautiful car. Leave it original and honest - period wheels and all! Mercedes got it right first time round.

Sorry, just my opinion.
Cracking car, but the new wheels do nothing for me, either.They just don't seem to gel and are quite uninteresting to look at.I just think "massive TSW Blades" when I look at them and you get those mostly on McDonalds midnight car park fodder
A larger version of something like the originals would tick every single box imho.It's such a classy looking car, that it deserves a classy looking wheel.The new ones are a little bit too touring car for me.
Each to their own though.Still a beauty!
