Wheel fit
I am looking at getting Giovanna Ararat II Black Cap wheels
I have a 2006 C230 Sport Silver. I'm looking at 19x8.5 with 225/35/19 on the front and 19.9.5 with 235/35/19 for the rear. I know the lugs are 5-112mm. I have a tire shop that backs up to my business that can order whatever I want for cost but I need to know if there is anything else I need to tell my buddy before I buy something...offset and what not.
Can anyone help me out with this?

Please excuse me it was a typo, but 235 rear on 9.5? I'm running on 265/30/19 on 9.5 rear

I went with these instead
19x8.5 225/35/19 Front 19x9.5 245/35/19 rear. The lip on the rears look sick. The clearance around the front calipers is tight. The supplier for these wheels brought out a few different wheels. We took off the front right tire and I was able to see the variety of wheels (without tires) actually on the car before I made my decision. I wanted to go with black but the polished goes very well with my brillant silver. CL grill should be here later this week. I'll post some pics of the car later on.

Looks good, only thing I don't like is how it makes the rear wheel look smaller in diameter with the dish than the front. Looks great over stocks though any day. The reason is due to using a "stepped" lip design which gives it that illusion. I'm personally going with some 19" staggered Fabulous Expand wheels. I'm all about the dish..haha.

I noticed how the rear looked (or actually is) smaller as soon as I went to pick it up but the lip looks good enough to make up the smaller size.
About how much would lowering run me? Any suggestions for the drop? Also, anyone know of any good tint shops in SoCal?

springs are cheap, give you about 1-1.5" drop
coilovers are the best. they let you adjust your perfect ride height.
i bought my coilovers for $750 and had them installed for $300
it rubbed in the rear, so i just made the ride height a little higher. cant do that with springs

But it's all apples and oranges in the knock-off depeartment...so does it really matter?
this is the mono S in 20" on the new w221. look perfectly well...perfect with 3 rivets.
