What do you think of these wheels?

I found these wheels on craigslist. They are 15" AMGs from a c280. I think they look pretty good photoshopped in. What d'you guys think?
Before:


AMG Wheels:


01 c240 Wheels:


I think I like the AMGs best, but they are only 15" vs the 16" 01 wheels

I think they are not going to fit without spacers.

I'm really partial to pentas or Ronal R9s on the 123. Not that these wheels look bad, just my taste would be a more classic/vintage look

Yea, but don't you have those 16's???
It is much different on a W123 as opposed to an SDL. They look a little better at least on the SDL, but on the W123 it is way outta place.......

a set of w126 18 hole-ers would look pretty good on a wagon!

I actually prefer the bundts to the rims you have suggested, The W123 is a classic automobile and needs very special rims to make it look good, BBS style, Ronal pentas, bundts, CLK lightweights. those other rims would look awesome on a w124 but just dont seem to fit on the w123. just my opinion.
