Best Place to buy Wheels?

I am in the market for some wheels.... I have certain criteria that I want to meet....
1. Spend no more than $1600 - $1700 wheels and tires
2. 19 or 20 inch
3. Mesh rim no lip
4. Gunmetal or polished alum no chrome

what is the best place for me to find a good deal..? I had my eye on some Sonic Tuning rims but they will not have the ones I want until may.....

Any sugestions?

Here are some online wheel/ tire online retailers: tirerack.com, elementwheels.com, wheelsnext.com, wheelfire.com

You can get a 19 inch wheel/ tire package for your $1,600-1,700 budget but you may have to settle with mediocre tires... You probably want to stretch out your budget to 2K... Don't skimp out on tires

I second forgestars. Very nice wheels at a decent price, but aren't they around 1500 just for a set of four wheels, no tires?

2006 C230 6spd > C300 4Matic
I was looking into these for my 2008 C300. http://www.usarim.com/mercedes-wheel...ms-p-1544.html

Anything I should know about before hand? Offsets? When I had my c230 I purchased 19's that were rubbing the suspension and didn't fit that I had to return, I don't want to go through the same thing.

Great customer service from USARim though, tried to work with me to get them fitted, but unfortunately I had to send back.
