Tirerack sells this wheel, the Zinik Z18's in 18 x 7.5. Has anyone seen these on a C class ? If you can post a picutre or direct to me one I would appreciate it.
I need a set of winter wheels asap and these looked good to me.

Those are intended for civics and sentras, your C350 OEM wheels are much better than those.

I like Civics and I agree my C350 has great 18" AMG wheels but I want to live and the summer tires will get me killed in the snow ... these look like perfect winter wheels ...

They would look nice on a white car, but I do think they are cheep looking! But for winter use I guess they'll serve there purpose

They're okay, but like Richard said, I don't like the black line and the Zinik logo. Looks kinda tacky but it would definately look better on the car.

I have a strong feeling these wheels are going to look great and the weight (HUGE FACTOR with aftermarket wheels) should be the same as stock so it won't hurt performance which IMO is very important since this car is great but can suffer if performance is affected.

It was around $1640 shipped with 18" Conti ExtremeContact DWS tires & Tire pressure sensors ... I don't like having to have my tires mounted and unmounted a couple of times a year for a few reasons, the main one being that they wheels get scratched up from the mounters.

I think I made a $300 mistake ... I am so disappointed, in the picture it looks like a deep dish wheel, in person it looks like a front wheel drive offset ... in other words the spokes of the wheel actually come out almost as far as the outer rim and there is no dish.

I cannot beleive it is the same wheel as in the picture ... there really should be some type of disclosure that the wheel will not have a dish ...

The $300 is the cost of shipping both ways and the tirerack fee of $60 to unmount the tires ...

I like those ... here is a pic of the only one mounted .. .I didn't drive on it since that would void a chance of returning it

Thanks for the picture of your wheels ... today I put the front one on and now that I have adjusted my thinking a bit to instead of having a deep dish wheel to having a normal looking wheel I think they really look good on the car.

The black wheel really looks good with my white car ... I will post more pics at a later date.

Plus another huge plus in my book is these wheels weigh 45.0 lbs with the tire and tpms. I weighed my rear 18" AMG wheel/tire this evening and it was 48.9 lbs.

My front 18" AMG wheel weighed 47.2 lbs so overall these wheels are considerably lighter overall which makes a difference with a car that has only 268 hp.
