    Monoblocks look best for the W202, hands down.

    What size are we talking about? 16, 17? Since you live in Athens, (nice roads and lots of fancy cars), I would recommend 7,5J x 18 inches. You will have many designs to choose from, including your first option. You can check my car in the link below (Greek merC) to see another possibility, its the classic german "Y" spoked design, they are 8'5J 18's. If I had to vote for one though, I would choose design No2. Your car is pretty basic so it needs a fresh touch in my opinion and the SLK design is newer.

    i've always liked the monos, but the 2nd one is closer to the stock sport look and i have recently grown to like it quite a bit.

    i vote for 2nd one.
