C300 or C250 Luxury Wheel Choices?

I wondered if anyone had some pics specific to the luxury version of the W204 with some different wheel choices. Seems like most everything is geared toward the Sport Models? Thanks!

Thanks, I've been looking at all the vendors galleries and tirerack.com as well as discounttiredirect.com I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts or pictures of what looks best on the luxury version? I guess less sporty? Chrome v/s black v/s satin, etc.

These look fairly elegant. Note the offset is 50, so a good fit. I've purchased from them before with very good results.

The site shows the shipping weight for 4 as 132 lb, but that would include the packaging.

This is a link to one of the few pics of a Luxury C Class with wheels that I have found. These are the TSW Carthage. I thought this looked pretty good.

An excellent example of the differences in individual preferences!

This is all subjective, so I only can offer my opinion. I think those are quite tacky and overdone. I think some of the most attractively modded cars have been done consistent with the subtly and refinement which is part of the brand. Take a look at xxHotelCrazyXX's car, which I think is among the best here...very cool, very refined, nothing "screaming" for attention. But, as others will agree, ultimately, you have to like them, no matter what the rest of us think. Otherwise, what's the point!?!

Here are a couple of aftermarket wheel sets I bought, even though my C is a Sport, take a look at the E. Crisp, classy...similar to the theme I also found for the C today, posted above. If you want larger than 17" more choices exist as well.
