C230 2.3 Manual Coupe

I replaced my stock with 18x8s from Tirerack. Within a year I broke two tires and a rim. I still don't understand how others can drive 19s. After 30K miles I bought new tires last year and the discontinued rims have one broken that can't be balanced. I wish I have stayed with 17 inchers where there's more rubber to protect the rim.
