the question to ask yourself is whats your budget w/ tires and w/o tires ... then it will narrow down some brands and style you want...

In his own words he bought the cheapest benz. Willing to spend up to 1/2+ of his used car price on new rims and tires. Not worried about monthly rim/tire payments which can run as high as $250+/month including tires based on a 4 year note.
Am I missing something here?

2002 C230 Coupe(M111)
Get a set of used 17" C7's from a C-COupe, or the newer 5spoke 17's from a sport sedan. Both look really good on the Coupe. Stop putting your car down, its still an MB, faster than both the C240, and C230SS, and a cool looking ride. With a simple pulley change it makes 235HP, and still gets 30mpg.
Don't slam youre own ride....the others here will do that enough
Try MBKlasse, its a much better site!
