C300 2020 - MO Tires Rims vs After market
Hello All,
I have a C300 2020 4M. It came with 19inch tires and rims. I am going to get winter tires because it snows a lot in Canada. Should I go for MO 18inch or aftermarket tired and rims. The difference is huge. The dealership quoted me 4.2K CAD with tax for tired and rims for the winter.
I also have a tires and rims protection so not sure if I should buy after market. Does anyone has any experience in this?

You could get a used set of the 17s , take them to a local tire store and put 225/50/17 snow tires on it. Many tire stores would actually match w/ online prices (Tire Rack, Discount Tire Direct) if you call.
If I didn't care about factory wheels, I would just get a set of the cheapest plainest looking aftermarket wheels and tires + sensors mounted and balanced from Tire Rack and take a couple of hours on a weekend to mount them.
Here's a used set of OEMs - supposedly taken off when almost new: https://www.ebay.com/itm/401089108950 (no affiliation with seller, I've just been looking for 17s for my car)

I have a different specifications for rear wheels and front wheels. Should I just get all wheels with same specs for winter tires?

Hello dhaval,
On the second winter...I went to the dealer to buy 18 inches wheels and winter tires (see the following URL).
Mercedes-Benz (tirelocator.ca)
Like you...I also have different wheels and tire size (front 225/45/R18 - rear 245/40/R18) since that I have the Sport Package on MYC300, so I bought 4x 225/45/R18 MOE for winter.pleasure here in Canada.
I have to admit those MB wheels are expensive...but at the end it looks good on MYC300 and everything is plug and play...
Regards,
