I say go with wheels next too. They're one of those mods that really makes a big difference in the overall look of your car.

Wheels do make a huge difference, but if you think about I think there is alot more w203s out there with wheels then a quad exhaust. Its a real hard choice, for now I gotta install new spoiler, grille, roof spoiler and get my ride tinted.

I agree it is 'boring' to just change the wheels; who cares ? Go all the way. You need to decide a style/color theme first e.g. black horse , cyber-look, romantic , humble... and then to decide HOW to change rather than WHAT to change

Fast Cars!
I would always pick suspension over wheels since no aftermarket wheel looks good with stock height. I would not be caught dead driving a car on 19s (or even 18s) with stock suspension having a wheel gap larger them most SUV's on the road. Stock wheels can looks better with a drop then the other way around.

I don't think C55 wheel gap with stock setup is that bad.
