Which Wheels To Get???
hi i am a first time benz owner, i just ordered my c230 two weeks ago, and i wanted to get some advice from actuall benz owners. i get my ride in june (YIKES do know how i will handle the wait) and i have already bought H&R springs, but i am also going to purchase 19' wheels before it arrives. the two wheels i have it narrowed down to is the "mille miglia action sport" or the "axis NE-O" .... what do you think?

stay with MB wheels
Either set will make it look cheap and like every other rice rocket on the street. Why buy a Benz if you plan on stripping it? just my opinion

manner. If you're going to do something to your car go all out. You'll be happier. It really does cheapen the look of the car if you don't buy the right brand or type of wheels. Again just my opinion, please no flames for having an opinion.

Guess it's all a matter of personal preferences and taste. In my opinion 19" tend to look too big on such a "small" car. But again, thats my most personal opinion...

In regards to picking the brands. Axis isnt a bad company. Like Vince and Ted said, There are better brands out there. Although i dont think Axis will "cheapen" the car, you can find some nice BBS rims that look sweet like Axis. I know some of the MB brands (AMG, Brabus etc.) arnt all that great, but i think BBS will be perfect. Then again, it's your choice. If i had a choice i woulda went for the BLITZ type 03, but it doesnt fit. Just dont go for "no brand names" such as KATANA and other imitations. People will laugh ...even those in thier hondas.

suggestions please
ok i just found out that the axis NE-O don't have a fitment for my car. i have looked at the other brands that have been suggested in here and there are two problems...1. the styles are not what i like and 2. some of them i just can't afford (not rich like others). so i thought it would be interesting to see what everyone else would put on their car. (post pics if you can) i have about a month to decide, so i'll be very interested to see what ppl like on the coupe.
a side note ... a friend of mine suggested ACE wheels...the monaco in hyper black. are ACE good wheels?
