2006 C350 wheel help

OK guys I'd like to get some wheels for my C350, heres the catch...

- I have to stay with 17" as my wife does NOT want a ruffer ride that the C350 SS already has

- I am thinking wheels with spokes / fins that go to the outside edge of the rim so the 17" look more like 18" (I love deep dish wheels but then they would look like 16" and to small for the car I am thinking)

- I would like to lose some weight at the same time, so light weight wheels.

Anyone have any thoughts on this ???

What do you think about these, will they work with a C350? Could I reuse my stock tires?

I know you wanted to keep it in the 17'' range but reason with your wife that a 1'' upgrade in wheel size will not significantly affect ride quality. Heck the sport cars come stock with 18ers.

With her successfully convinced, you can take a look at some of our AMG style wheels:
