Lol, agreed. But....those wheels on that car would be much more interesting if they were 19's with the proper offset and properly sized tires that weren't stretched all to hell. As is, it's also sitting too high but if this is a new off-road version of the C300, then I guess it's o.k.

I like the look of the wheels, but I'm not sure they're the right look for this car. I think they'd look great on my Porsche though.

Very ugly wheels !

Nothing can ruin the W205 body shell design as quickly as this set of aftermarket alloys !!

Never mind the fact that they would kill the resale of this car.

Sorry to offer a negative opinion, but it just looks awful. As similar to another responder had commented, at first glance I thought this was a crossover-type vehicle. Nothing goes together. Keep the offsets.

Wheels look good. I am not a fan of the stretched tire but I guess that seems to be a trend lately.
It definitely needs to be lowered. I think it might even be the fact that the tires are so stretched that make the car in desperate need of lowering.
So far there doesn't seem to be many people customizing their W205 on this forum.
So thanks for the pic.

The back rim is 20x10, and in order for wheels and tires not to rub in the back we need to slightly stretch the rear so it doesn't rub with fender.... This is the reason why its stretched not because its a trend its in order to not have rubbing issues, and this is the wheel our customer wanted.

Customer should have put his money towards the sport package and gone with the AMG 19" wheels in black
Only a little more in cost than what he is shelling out

From MB about $3k for sport package and the 19"s versus $1600 for the rims and tires another $200 for TPMS and prob another $150 for mounting balancing and alignment. estimated total $1,950 plus still needs suspension theres another grand!

Oh and now much of the car is out of warranty.
