C250 STANDARD WHEELS

WHEELS!

I'm trying to determine if it's worth spending the extra $1k on upgrading the wheels. Does it noticeably increase ride quality from 17" to 18"?

Please post pictures of your wheels!

C Coupe 220cdi (ordered) and Lexus IS220d
I ordered the 18" Pulaha wheels.... the default 220cdi C Coupe in The Netherlands comes on 16" (!!!!) wheels, which I'll use for my winter tires.

16" is looking very very poor on the C Coupe. To me 17" was okay, but I decided to go for the extra set Pulaha's.

I would definitely go with the 18's. I think it makes the car look vastly better.

Thank you all for your input. I think I will go with the 18's: now 5-spoke or 7-spoke!? Haha

If you don't plan on buying aftermarket wheels, I'd go with 18s. Looks nicer IMO.

Personal choice on design, but 18's minimum in size look so much better and don't detriment ride quality on this vehicle
