Need Winter Wheel/Tire Setup Suggestions
I just ordered a C400 with 19in AMG wheels that only come with summer tires. I'm in Boston and it will be delivered in December. I'm in search of a good winter wheel and tire setup. I know there have been some limited discussions within other threads on this, but I don't want to highjack those threads and think it will serve well to have its own thread.
Here are my preferences:
- 18" wheels that have some resemblance to the stock 19in AMG multi-spoke look
- Lightweight (or relatively lightweight) wheels (~25lb or under)
- I think either 215 or 225 tires would be fine. Don't care if runflat or not.
I tried looking through Tirerack but their choices seem somewhat limited. I thought these OZ wheels were ok, but they won't be available until mid December

I would be grateful for any suggestions. I understand that wheels choices are very subjective and comes down to personal taste. More than anything, I just want to retain the classy Mercedes look. Just looking for ideas.
