Duck if You are right about the Titanium finish being a charcoal grey, then perhaps the polished ones will be the choice, or I'll cave and go for some AMG Monoblocks or 5 stars, but I think the EVO II's will look very good.

Looking at it now, and after seeing your response, I have looked again and been thinking about it.

I had thought the titanium finish was like a metallic grey like the bbs pic, or they were like a matte black wheel just about.

I think they would be good in titanium as the brake dust will not show as easily??

But If they look like the way on the modded pic, you might just be right that it looks kind of awkward. though I have heard that on silver, white, black and a couple of other colors they really look good.

Though I guess it wouldn't be as bad as those anodized red, blue, yellow, or gren wheels you see on some cars.

I would love them in silver, but they don't make them in 7.5" width, and 8.25 is way too wide I think.

The 5 star C class sport wheels I think look like 5 star Evo II's. They look good.

I think the bekkers pics are too dark and off in color too. The titanium finish should be a medium metallic grey I think, kind of inbetween black and silver. That would be my guess. I think on my car, with the monotone, the euro lights, lowered a bit, and an AMG body kit, the car would look very good.

But the package doesn't work if the wheels don't look right. for that kind of look, 17's are a must if you ask me. so Duck now I have to question myself on What friggin wheels in 17x7.5 do I get?!?!?! ehehe

Thanks for making me think about it. hehehe now I'm going to have to work on what wheels will look good. time to take some side pics, find some pics of various wheels I like, and put it together to get the idea of how it will look.

I am not 100% set on the titanium finish, but I kinda didn't want to go polished, and the silvers don't come in 7.5 inch, so we shall see hehe. I kind of dig the look of the S class 16's on the car from the 2000-01 S class. Saw a convertible on E-bay with them, looked nice. maybe even the 7 spokes from the clk's....

What do you think?

Damn long post ehehehe I don't even know what I said in the beginning.. Probably just a bunch of blabbering.
