thinking about new rims
after some thinking i have made up my mind to get new rims for my canadian c250. my current stock tire size is 205/55/16.
im completely new at this so i was wondering if i were to change me rims to say 18" or 19" would i have to do any modifications to the suspension or chasis?
also does offset mean? and what is the difference between a concave rim?

I'd assume you have the luxury edition since that is the only car that comes with the 16" rims? I think a lot of people have the sport option here so be extra careful with the offsets because i believe the offsets are differnt for the sport and luxury editions!

Go with Forged rims or they will be damaged in short order especially if 19's.
Also consider the extra weight of bigger wheels and tires re handling and ride quality.
Unless you are spending the $ ($4-6K) to get the best - the run of the mill cast rims and bigger tires will easily add up to 10 lb per wheel which is Huge for an underpowered car like C250 or C300.
Paint your rims white and will look great !
