New Rim Time
I got back from the dealer after complaining that I have vibration while driving. They found that all 4 wheels are bent. So....
Time to get new rims! WHat do you guys think. I picked some that I really like. Ideally I would like to go with 18's but this car does look good with 17's, and I'm ok with that. (Now I have 16's)
Note:
I'm looking to bas as classy and understated as possible. So I would like to stay OEM or OEM looking. Feel free to throw more ideas on the board.

Out of all those i would say:
1st choice- CLS wheels
2nd choice- C55 wheels
3rd choice- 5 spoke C class rims
4th choice- 6 spoke C class rims
I actually used to like the 6 spoke over the 5 spoke C class rims, but i found that alot of people liked my 5 spokes better, and I ended up liking them better after all too. I sold my 5 spokes to a C240 luxury and they look really good on!

^ You hate lipped wheels? Interesting. Anyhow, seeing as you have 4 bent 16 inch wheels, you may only want to go up in size to 17" for that reason (bigger wheels, lower profile tires = easier to bend wheels). I had the 230 sport 6 spokes, and loved them. The way the rear offset has that concave look to it...they look very aggressive. I just sold them to MT8667 (Mark) for his 240 4matic.

Sorry for the double post, but I actually voted for "230 sport wheels" by mistake...I thought those were the 6 spoke sport wheels. Count one for the 6 spokes! Here's MT8667's car

1999 CLK320 (sold), 2007 C230 SS (gone), 2000 Grand Marquis, 2011 CR-Z, stay tuned...
I love the 6-spoke. I'm not a huge fan of the CLS wheels on the C (no offense to anyone). C55 are great, and the 5 spoke are right with them. Any choice, you can't go wrong.

2007 c230
are you going to lower it? I mean I have a c230 2007 with those wheels but if you lowered ur car a tiny bit it would look a lot nicer imo
