Take your time, do your research and find something that you love.

THere are not many rims that I feel go well with this car and I say find the ones that fit mercedes cars to ensure a factory fit if you go with aftermarket.

One other question is if you plan to plus size your rims as well. If you are sticking with stock check out a powdercoat for your rims.

Either way make sure you are happy cuz rims make or break the cars looks.

You got that right! It took me many months to pick out my rims. But I will probably getting a different set in the spring. I am going to go big next year. Here is what this style of rim looks like on our car Message - CrossfireForum.org Gallery if it is any help for what you had in mind

Oh yeah, I like those... I wonder, are they easy to keep a clean look, or do they look dull when they get dirty?

Hey Gal, Glad things are looking up. Wheels are like Jelly Beans, you'll know immediately when you get the right one. Check out the virtual viewer on Discount Tire. Give you a good idea. That's how I decided on my Mandrus Milleniums. Deal on price after.
