They look very nice on my brilliant silver coupe - I'd imagine they'd look great on a black w203 as well. I bought the wheels and tires as a package from Tire Rack, with Fuzion ZRi's all around. Was impressed to see that the also came with really nice alloy valve stems and BBS stem caps.

I will say though, even with 17s, I managed to bend the lip on the FR wheel with a nasty (and unforunately unavoidable) pothole at highway speed. Fortunately, Wheels America was able to fix it for me... replacing even a 17 isn't cheap.
Wow...and here I thought I was special. I demand pics!

ICEMAN: That's about the best I can do with my little Sony Cybershot and shaky hands.

Frank: Yea, yea... I know...

Drex: I'm definitely pleased with my decision. @ my wifey for giving the go-ahead.

In every post thus far, you have received nothing but major props.

Close... they're the '05 sport brakes painted silver with Brembo decal because the "Mercedes Benz" decals I bought were too long.
