To wear or Not to wear C63 rims on my W204? That is the question!

Mercedes W204 C220 CDI
To wear or Not to wear C63 rims on my W204? That is the question!

Thinking of trying (if posssible) the C63 16 spoke alloys on my W204 (C220CDI currently on 17inch alloys). Anyone ever tried C63 alloys on a normal W204? Any views regarding changes in performance, handling and fuel economy?
Many thanks

They'll be heavier; your handling on better roads will improve; they will be more prone to damage and you'll be the envy of most of us in the US.

Are the C63 fender flares wider? In other words, will they fit correctly under your car without fender rubbing issues?

If so, I say go for it. If I could fit them on my C55 I would because I think they look awesome. Just as long as they fit right though.

As wheels go up, handling improves (most of the time), straightline performance goes down, and fuel economy might go down slightly.
