that looks pretty bad. not only are the rims too blinged out (well the entire car is too blinged out), but the gap is HUGE in the front. you definitely need to lower it. I think stock suspension setups with 19's ONLY look good on 2005+ sport sedans because of the lower setup. Not, on pre-2005 non-sport sedans.

Did you mean bad as in good, or bad is in its a piece of ****? No body language with forums lol.
As far as too blinged out, you don't like chrome, so your opinion is
on the subject of too much bling.I've also read here that you don't care for the headlight trim. I don't care for it anymore either because it didn't stay on at highway speeds, but luckily I got some pics with it still on.
As far as my opinion goes, with your vehicle, I think it looks like a ricer with those wheels and grill setup. JMO but a mercedes needs chrome. All mercedes without chrome wheels looks like crap to me, but I'm a fan of chrome. I say, why not? Its a mercedes man, chrome it out. If you want non-chrome, buy rice.

Im guessing obviously you dont drive on the same roads as I do. I can't lower it, i still sometimes rub as it is. Florida roads are great, untill you pull off of one into a gas station and have to climb a 6 foot curb.

Unlike your wheels, mine are actually functional. They don't rub, they're lightweight and pretty strong. I'd take a forged lightweight 3-piece wheel over a cheap chromed out wheel anyday.
Also, it doesn't matter where you are, so you're telling me that there are no 2005 and up w203's in FL? Or any performance cars? Your C240 isn't the sport model, nor does it have an updated suspension. It just looks ridiculous with the huge gap with the large wheels, I mean it looked bad to begin with with the stock 16's, but adding the chrome 19's makes the gaps look even bigger. And why go with low profile 19's if your roads are bad? Shouldn't 18's be better? Ah, but yes, you like the blinged out look.
I'd choose function and looks over straight looks that are gaudy. I guess we can call your look Ghetto-Fab. Some people would rather be low profile and not too gaudy, but that's also a personal preference.

oh btw, I like how on your cardomain profile it says your intake, headers, engine components, chips, shocks, and springs are AMG. 
you even have AMG stickers and badges on it! now THAT is the definition of rice. You have absolutely nothing AMG but tell everyone that it is.

phildo,
Thanks for checking out my cardomain page... I love the hits
PS There is an edit message button so you don't have to double post.
Anything else wrong that anybody would care to point out?

I figured that that statement about AMG deserved it's own fresh post.
