Nice, Nice, Nice !!!
Much better than before andrew
As mentioned a while ago because that model of rim is no longer available and with the custom finish you've applied I'll happily take them once your lease is up

If you size them right with 19s, you really won't have a change with the speedo. I got smaller sidewall tires and they're almost identical (about .25" at the very most) in diameter to my stock 18s.

C350 4matic coupe
I'm running: F 225/35-19, R 265/30-19. There's a little stretch with those sizes, but being a 4Matic and not being able to lower I wanted something that matches the stock size as close as possible. Plus, I wanted the diameters to be as close as possible. Honestly, I love the look and stance now, couldn't be happier. I think these cars look best with 19s.

Wheel Dilemma
Andrew, your coupe looks great, I liked it with the 18" wheels also.
Maybe you could school me on wheel off set, width & looks.
I have a 2013 C350 Coupe, Polar White / Almond Beige w/ AMG 18" 5 spoke wheels. I'm planning on staying with the 18".
I've looked at all the wheels on "Wheelplus" & others sites and can't find the proper offsets ( 50 & 54).
How would ET45's fit, look & any rubbing issues ?
Has anyone tried "wheel adapters or spacers" to change the bolt pattern giving a larger selection?
It's hard to imagine the limited selection available for MB's.

C350 4matic coupe
It's hard to tell, I was out of town for a month and put the wheels on as soon as I got back. The ride won't be as comfortable as before due to a lower sidewall height, but it's still very smooth and straight.

I believe you originally had 18” wheels with 5mm spacers - front & 10mm spacers – rear? Did you use the spacers with the 19” wheels?
I’m having trouble finding ET50 front & ET 54 rear wheels.
Please correct me if I’m wrong but adding spacers does not change the “offset” or the “back space” but moves the wheel “outboard” ?
So by using a spacer I might be able to compensate somewhat for the incorrect “offset”?

Yes and no, the spacers move the wheel outboard more which in a way decreases the offset. It can get tricky conceptually but if you think about it at the most basic level, you have it, it just pushes the wheel out.
