05 C230K SS with 19" wheels

Could you please tell me what kind of 19" wheel you guys have for your 05 C230K SS and do you have to use spacers?
I would like to purchase one without the need to use spacers.
Any suggestion on what brand, model and not too pricey would help. Anybody want to sell theirs?
Thanks

What's your budget?? If u have the correct offset and width, spacer is uneccesary. STFF first.

Then, you're definitely not gonna be looking for a 2 piece/multi-piece rim.

You'd probably want to look at some of the Brabus-Style/AMG-style rims that are "knock-offs". Especially if you're only looking to spend $2,000 for rims wrapped (e.g. with tires).

I can't think of any multi-piece/2-piece rims that you could get for that price, but if you don't necessarily need a multi-piece/2-piece rim, then my recommendation would be what I said above. You could probably find some 1 piece 19" rims that would look nice.

If you are looking to buy them on the internet, try a google search and/or ebay for rims/wheels/aftermarket rims/ aftermarket wheels. I usually get A LOT of hits with that type of search.

Here is the $2K+ 2-pc wheel from Japan, they are CUSTOMIZED wheels as well, so you can have any offset you want and the wheels won't stick out - I photoshoped some pictures, hopefully you like them

Actually only the 20" has the double lip, 18" and 19" are normal straight lip. Type S just released on 2005 Tokyo Auto Salon and won't be available till March the earliest - here are the close up pics, hope you like them

I like the first picture. What's the name of those rims? Also is there a website?

Which vendor in the US imports these rims? Thanks.

I think the first wheel is called the Rotino, I like that style as well and they do cost a pretty penny.
