what dya guys think?

I'm not a baller enough to go with something real expensive, and at $300/wheel, I think these Ace Alloy wheels will do for now.

I thinking about the 19 x 8.5 on a C230 sedan (which I have yet to get...undecided right now)

Looks nice. Very aggressive and sporty. Make sure you get the staggered setup. I've seen cars without and it doesn't look that nice.

I'm guessing you're getting replicas from the price and the lack of the Brabus logo in the center cap.

300 bucks a wheel for 19's!!! Even for copied rims that sounds too good, doesn't it? I would be careful as it sounds cheap and going 19's they might break on you. Maybe check w/people that have these rims. They are very nice though!!

actually, I'm quite familiar with the Ace brand.

Retail is actually in the $400s, but superbuytires.com has great prices.

What's the most popular setup to get when people go to 19s? What sizes of rims and tires do most people get? 19 x 8.5 F, 19 x 9.5 rear??

thnx!

what about offset? What's the offset of the C230 anyways?

I figured on getting 235 fronts, and 255s on the rears ???

somone give me of an example setup that will work pefectly and no rubbing. (tire size + wheel width and offest for 19s)

Hope they don't crack when you hit a pothole!! replica rims are usually pretty low quality
