18 or 19 inch wheels on my 2006 C280 4Matic

Hey everyone! Can anyone help me here? I want to put some aftermarket wheels on my car but can't decide what size. Both sizes look good obviously the larger looks a lil better but is it worth it. Help anyone???

Thanks in advance to all who respond and can help me decide.

I'm running 19s right now. If its for looks, definitely go with 19s, fills out the wheel well nicely, so yes its worth it if you want the looks lol

Thanks! I guess I need to know what the risk are so I won't tear up my car. I see allot of people driving on extremely low profile tires but I'm curious as to what they have to do to maintain that look.

All I did was get my fenders rolled, and grinded some plastic tabs along the rear wheel well.

All extremely easy and unnoticeable.

Yeah, in San Diego, that will work. Any streets with any potholes, and 19's are very risky, even if you drive very cautiously.

You also have to deal with much higher costs and weight over 18's, as well as some finessing of them as Vu indicated, possibly.
