Those are the 19s I put on my build, I like them but don't love them. They were the best of the options for C450s.

If I could pick any wheels, I'd go with the black forged AMGs

I removed mine, iron X, clay, washed and then waxed with collinite to minimise dust.. Tried armour all wheel protectant and it's ok but it's not glossy.. I prefer the waxed finish...
Enjoy 👍🏻

I went with the titanium multispokes.

That gloss black look like it would be hard to keep clean. They probably look amazing clean, but pretty bad when dirty.

I really like the split spokes, but they just look kinda small for a 19 inch wheel on the car.

Smooth ride..

Well its less side wall in any comparable tyre (ie same spec tyre) in 18", so you will always loose some spring and damping there..

Is is unbearable and crashy???, in my experience on Australian road.. (a real mix of smooth tar and chip seal.. with the Continental Sport Contact 5 MOE runflats )... No..
It is firm, and step edges are abrupt, but it doesn't feel crashy..

Pot holes and speed bumps i take particular care over, but i would with 17's on..

If you ran NON runlfats you'd have the smoothest ride possible on that rim size..

I am glad mine has the AMG 19's on, anything less IMO looks too small, and i am not a fan of the classic 5 spoke Merc rims.. they look a little 1990's IMO..

But i say again, they take twice as long to keep clean.. which is OK IF you like cleaning your car
