trade it in for a c320? haha you're honestly gonna have to spend a huge boatload of cash to get another 50 hp out of that NA engine.
the rims arent bad, ive seen worse.

Rims look pretty cool. If you're worried about the lack of acceleration, stick with 17 or smaller. Bigger rims mean larger moment of inertia means slower acceleration and slower stopping. I had a C240 for 8 months before I traded up to the C320. I couldn't handle getting burned by Tauruses.

Those wheels look rather heavy, and as stated before, a greater rolling mass equates drained acceleration. That would probably be the best route of improving overall acceleration; find the lightest wheels possible and bolt them on with some sticky tires. For engine mods, the cheapest way to get that fifty horsepower would be with a nitrous kit.
