Thinking about getting these wheels what do you think?

These are 18in amg replicas and I'm weary about the size and if the gunmetal will work with arctic white

Get them too! Haha they're reletively cheap compared to most wheels and I found them on eBay. I can only find them in 18 but I was thinking about getting 19's. I would consider selling my stock wheels with tires!

They look real nice. Always a fan of 5 spoke alloys.

Would consider 19's and not 18's.

If you can get correct offset they will look sweet.

I think they will look great...gunmetal/gray works with any "cool" (versus only some "warm") colors. For example, white, black, silver, and even some warm colors like red. But, not beige/tan. But, why are you tired about a wheel size???

honestly if they are youre only wheels go 19s. 18s dont fill our wheel wells up enuff IMO, stock 18s look decent on w204s but 19s set them off, they are perfect for these cars. You wont notice a difference in ride quality, dont beleive what people say. Its all in your tires and PSI, a properly set up car will ride nice on rubberbands
