2006 c230 sport aftermarket wheels

I'm looking at getting new wheels and tires for my '06 c230 sport. I'm thinking of getting some 18" wheels to replace the 17" stock ones but I've read that a lot of people have trouble with fitting over the brake calipers and I'm afraid to order anything and then try to put it on, only to find out that it won't fit.

Some of the rims I've been looking at:

http://www.usarim.com/mercedes-wheel...ng-p-1355.html

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand

Does anyone know anything about these wheels specifically or have any other suggestions? I like a lot of open space so I can see my calipers and rotors, and if anyone knows of any nice black wheels that would be good too.

Help is much appreciated. Thanks.

You can buy my wheels lol I have the CLS500 wheels. I have the 3mm spacer up front to give you a little extra room to clear the caliper. These have alot of open space and you can see the calipers clearly. I'd sell you the bolts too but someone else has dibs on the bolts.

Those look nice. How much would you sell them for? Are they staggered or all the same size? And are you selling with or without tires?
