white and whiter
first of all, the tires on the 230k in the rear are 245/40/17. second, they will look exactly the same as how they look on the 230k as on your car.

Going from a 205/55 to 255/40 is significant. Will they stick out to far? Maybe there's a reason why I haven't seen this before. Thanks!
They'll fit fine. Look at my sig

Thanks. I put them on and they look good except but the rotors and calipers look small. Essa, have noticed any dimished braking ability or increased pad wear? Has anyone upgraded the brakes on a 240 to that of the 230k?

Get the AMG caliper/pads, about $600 and get the car lowered an 1" to match the C230's look.

Yes, the rotor looks small but breaking ability remain the same. I didn't notice any increase pad wear.

New Wheels on AMG style III

I finally got a chance to put on my 18" AMG style III wheels with TPC sensors installed. Roof rack is coming off now so no rants! Had to use it for the move. Lowered with H&R cup kit. Camber adjusted with speedybnz camber arms. No rubbing issues. Using recommended tire sizes. I personally feel the wheels look better on a wagon like Steve's. And that the smart fortwo next to my car.

sunman,

I really like those 18" AMG wheels. I have a set of those wheels in 17" staggered. Now, I know how they will look like on my C-class sedan, so I can switch with my DPE whenever I like ...

Anymore pics? your car looks really nice esp with those mods

Thanks
