If you decide to kit your new toy (congratulations! ), maybe I could get your front (urgent) and rear bumpers....

Those are nice rims. Reminds me of my old car. Here's how your car will look like with those rims:

These are 19"s non-staggered. Go to club202.com. I was a member there when I had my car.

I have a 1999 C280 and was thinking about 02 C230 17" wheels with 225/45-17 tires.

They appear to be a nice upgrade over stock 205/60-15, but aren't too extreme. 18" or 19" would ride a lot stiffer then 17" due to their shorter sidewall.
