MBWorld Fanatic!
Here is the comparison of Steel to Palladium, both under the beautiful Michigan sun! Mine is on style 810 wheels from Powerwheels Pro.

can someone tell me the tire size for the 19s at 8.5, 823s? i have a 2011 c300 4matic so i want to run them same size on all 4 tires so i wont be doing stagger. but prior to buying these rims i need to know the tire size and make sure my car wont look weird with these bigger rims as my current tires are 225/45R17 on the front and 245/40R17 on the back

I ordered these from Vassili at PowerWheels Pro and put them on my 2009 C300 this weekend. I ordered the staggered 18" 818s w/ Continental DWS tires. Fantastic service from Vassili and the wheels fit perfect. Very happy with the purchase ... and the look.

dharvey65, do you have any more shots of your new 818 setup?

Thanks for the additional pictures. It almost looks like there's a gap between the rear fender and wheel. Is that just the camera angle? What tire size are you using on them?
Sorry for all the questions, I am trying to decide between the 818 18" staggered/non or the 19" 818s (which only come non-staggered) :/

As for tire size - I put 225/40R18s on the front and 255/35R18s on the rear. I believe that's the factory size for 18" wheels. My preference was to only upgrade to the largest factory option - didn't want anything bigger.
FYI - I also looked at the 823s but really preferred the look of the angled lines on the 818s.
Thanks for the questions!

Seraphim, you can run 225/35/19 on your car all the way around. Tirerack.com is an excellent source as you can put in your car and it tells you the correct sizes as well as the upsizing options.
dharvey65 thank you for sharing the photos and for the kind words, your car looks a million times better with the new wheels. The gun machined face look just makes it look sportier and classier!

Already checked...no plaques....but I'm thinking I might skip that step altogether. I plan to keep these wheel as long as possible (7-10 years projected) so I'm thinking stickered plaques may not last as long, so I might as well leave it off.

itzweber, thank you for sharing the pics, your car looks awesome!
The sharp angle on the spoke I think breaks the fluid curves of the car forcing the eye to focus on the wheels.
Regarding the logos, we typically make sure we don't miss these things, if you still have the boxes and packaging material please double check them. If you can't find them we will send you a set on Monday.
Thank you,
