How about checking the wheel and tire forum or the sponsors/group buy forums?

you need to make your own decision. it depends on what styles you like, and what your willing to pay...

dont have other people tell you what to do... be original.

Not looking for someone to tell me what to do, just maybe give opinions or curteous suggetions, or even a link like Ty Vil did above.

Black wheels with polished lips look great on the Montego Blue. Have you thought about that?

But you just responded that you spend 2.5 months on the other forums looking at things. At what point do you not have all the information you need to research on your own? By the time you actually decide on wheels, youll probably be selling the car. After a while, all wheels start looking the same. Ultimately, you have to be the one to like whats on the car, not us.

http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=1045022 heres a great selection. However, it depends on how long youve already been researching this, you might have seen these already. I dont really know what style you like or color preferences. Also the weights of each skirt differ with material used. Oh gosh, so many choices.

good sense of humor

honestly, if you dig the M6 rep (which I think looks awesome), go for it, who cares if there are lots of other people with it on their car, it's your car, pick the rims that you like the best, don't be different just for the sake of being different and end up with a set of rims that is different than the 'norm' but not exactly to your liking

honestly what i'd really like and im having a really hard time finding is a style of black rims similar to the m6's. I think that would great on the MB.

These rims are black but with a machined face:
