Congrats on your new purchase !!
RIMS:
ooh, there's so many to choose from ! You're going to get 4,568 different responses from everyone on these forums.
I would suggest checking out all the pics of people's cars on these forums,
and selecting one that would look good with your car.
Ultimately, the decision is yours, on what looks best.
Granted, style & price are major decision-makers in the process.
You can start of browsing with the
C-Class Picture Thread <----- Click here
or also check Tirerack.com
they have a neat feature in their RIMS / WHEELS section that allows you to pick your make/model of car, and digitally/virtually see the rims they have available mounted on the car.
Once you find a set or sets of rims you like, then post again if you want to hear people's suggestions / opinions.

white and whiter
how about mine??? 
I need to get rid of mine as soon as I can get my hands on the damn 19s I'm still waiting from my friend's company in Taiwan...
anywayz, I'd go w/ Brabus, Carlsson, Lorinser type of rims or at least replicas of those like mine. That's just my taste tho. I never like those giant ugly chrome Giovanne watever rims.

If you want to get ideas I would suggest you might browse the pic thread at the top of the forum. Whatever you do; don't
it out. Its an MB.
