I've been wanting to do wheels and tires, really like the look of your's can you give me some more detail. Exactly which wheels did you get, I notice tire rack has two that look the same.
What size tires, and what type ?

I bought the rims from the Tire Rack: www.tirerack.com, and got the polished lips. It was more expensive but a much nicer look to me.

Here's the invoice details - price in US dollars:
---
2 18x8.5 AMG 5-spoke 129 SML In Stock $449.00 - $898.00
2 Mercedes Benz OE center cap In Stock N/C N/C

I also specified my model and year for the offset.

Hope that helps you.
