Here is my wife's 350 with a set of cheap wheels from Tire Rack with a set of 17" Yokohama iceGUARD iF51v mounted. I'm waiting on my knock-off MB center caps. They don't look too shabby. She's only driven them in snow a few times this year, but she says that they are great.
EDIT: Fixed wheel size.

No sir, I misstated my wheel size! The overall diameter of my summer tires is 28.3" (718.82mm), whereas the overall diameter of this set of winter treads is 28.0" (711.2mm) so there are no speed sensor issues, either.
The entire setup with TPMS and shipping ran just over $1,250 USD. They shipped mounted and balanced to a shop for installation, though I could have shipped them to my house and installed them myself.
EDIT: Got my size mixed up. I have 17" wheels and tires. Apologies!

How is the ride with the 17" wheels and taller sidewall? I imagine it is smoother.
LOL, I'm about to do exactly what you did on my wife's 2014 GLK 350 - anthracite wheels with Blizzaks. Her car is palladium silver so hoping it looks good.

Nothing wrong with the Blizzaks, but I can't recommend the iceGUARDs enough. They are amazing in the slick stuff!
Either way, I think the anthracite wheels will look great on palladium silver. Make sure to post a picture.
