blkc230k,
TSW Bremma 19x8.5, 19x9.5 with nitto nt555 235/35/19, 265/30/19 mounted, balanced, lug nuts shipped to your front door for less than 2K.
I bought them through Neal (BlackC230Coupe), also a member from tMBWorld.org or you could send him an email to: BlackC230Coupe@ aol.com
I like them because I don't have to use spacers for 05 C230K to clear the sport caliper since I don't want to spend so much on HRE or Iforged. Most wheels around that price will required spacers and most spacers cause vibration.
inFiniTE LooP,
I would like to raise the rear by 10mm to 15mm, because right now with 2 grown adults on the back, will rub when you hit a dip and you're going over 65mph. With 2 petite chixs on the back seat, it's fine.

Blake P , thanks..
#4 pad is 17mm and I'm using #2 which is 9mm. I will only get 8mm...I need more than that so my rear fender will be sitting right at the top of the wheels instead of being tucked in ...like right now.

diamondblak05,
The ride quality is almost the same....but you feel a big different on your steering wheels. It's more responsive and you could almost feel the the roughness of the road you're driving. When you change the springs....it makes a huge different. Stiffer and less tolerence for bump and dip but not bouncy
mj50,
thanks for the compliments
