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.
