I have finally found the rims I like, and all the things line up.
The bore is correct, the offset is correct and the bolt pattern is correct.
Only problem is they are 19 inch.
I have NO idea if they will fit on my 1998 C230 (non sport) sedan.
Great price and look.
Here is a link

If anyone knows if they will, or won't fit, please let me know before I spend the "bucks"

Without the offsets specified, there is no way to know. You can buy those wheels (or very similar) from sevral us vendors. With 19" wheels you may have trouble with tire fitment.

The 19 inch did bother me for the fit as far as turning radius and inside fender rubbing.
The offset indicated in within the MB spec range, which is 33 to 38.
As you mentioned, there are suppliers in the US, and I did find one at a better price yesterday.

They show an offset of 35, and 18 inch, instead of 19.
The big thing is the cost of tires, but you pay for the looks, so that is all part of it in the long run.
Thanks for your comment.

19" tires, not something I would put on for a couple of reasons. For one, the tires are very expensive and the treadwear is really bad. Second, they tend to ride very roughly, since there is so little sidewall to flex. Lastly, hit a pothole or go off the pavement and you have a strong chance of bending a rim since there is so little sidewall. But they supposedly handle very well and some folks think they look cool.

I fully agree. I am continually dealing with pot holes, speed bumps, and everything else you can imagine. I was concentrating on the wheels, and not the tires, and now I see that the profile is really small. Obviously they won't work.
I can't find a 15" or 16" with the same look as the link I posted above. That's really all I need and want. Back to the drawing board.
Thanks for you comment, it helped
