The fronts are 19 x 8.5 and rears are 19 x 9.5. I don't know what the offsets are. I bought the car new withe the wheels already installed.

It's funny how when a car has some aftemarket wheels people always want to mess with you especially fellow owners of the same model car. I have had so many C230 owners come up fast behind me and half of them backed off when they got close ( probably saw the C350 badge)and some others wanted to test me. I have had to unfortunately blow away some fellow "C" owners away both on the freeway and at the stoplight. I am glad my wife talked me into the C350.

The next upgrade in your future will be an AMG if she keeps up at this rate.

Beautiful purchase. Congratulations.

The rims do look great with the car color. Which one is it? It looks a little deeper than the standard silver. Is that the new one with the blue tint?

As far as I know they are the normal silver version with no blue tint. The wheels are JAZ Ver 1's. For whatever reason they are longer on their website and I assume they may be discontinued-bummer.
