Ideal Tire Pressure
I just purchased a C350 Sport Package with 18'' AMG rims... The recommended PSI for front is 33 and the 38 for the back tires. Does anyone recommend any other tire pressure settings based on performance or comfort. I'm currently using 32/35. Should I just use the factory settings.

oh musta missed that, my bad
you mentioned it is a different rim size. is the width/height of the tire the same as those without those rims? if so, i'd go with the stock recommendations on the gas door.
if not, i'd go with the recommendations on the tires since the gas door specs will be specific for the stock tire size

Top speed and weight.
Heavy foot and/or usually loaded(not alchohol related), use the figures in the gas cap.
More reasonable driving and mostly just yourself, use the figures in the door jam as a starting point and experiment. I found that the pressure I used for my front tires needed to go up as I put miles on the tires.

Two variables that need to be taken into consideration.

You can play with the pressures a bit to make up your own mind.
The TP shown on the sidewall is max allowable, not running pressure.
