Minerva or kinforest tires???

Has anyone had or heard of these tires? Anything good or bad about them would be appreciated. Getting a quote on Niche 157 19"staggered with either of these tires for $1700 tax included with install. Also being told by them that I should be in the front 235/35/19 with 35 offset and rears to be 265/30/19 with 48 offset with staggered 8.5 front and 9.5 rear.
So many numbers and I know nothing about this, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I know there is a thread for this somewhere, as was pointed out, but I want specifics pertaining to my exact situation from you as the experts, rather than me trying to figure this all out. Much appreciated. This is all for a c350 2009. Does anyone have these rims as well, wanting to know if they will look good on my white car; apparently they are matte gun metal, which I have not seen before, but like the multi spoke concaved look it will provide.
Cheers

http://www.carid.com/niche-wheels/fo...-57883093.html you can see the offsets that work they are in yellow

click add to cart
then type in your car info

Only guaranteed fitment wheel sizes are displayed for this vehicle
To view all available sizes for this wheel anyway more details on will be on the screen CLICK HERE
then front wheel size - please select and see what will fit

19"x8.5 42 front
19'x9.5 48 rear
just like we said the other day

tires you can add them on the site it says the only sizes that work and i would not get some unknown brand you can but at your own risk a lot of people get Nexen or Continentals. My cousin had Hankook he loved them had them forever you get what you pay for remember that.

CONTINENTAL® - EXTREMECONTACT DWS06 are my personal favourites I don't think i'll ever buy another tier but these. they are a little expensive but if you shop around you can get a set of 4 for 1200$ or less

just look at the reviews and ratings

I'm not lowered...the 35 offset will make it more flush than the 42- correct?
