hmm..
They look much better thant he ones you previously had but just FYI, the lip you photochopped into the second pic isnt going to be that big, according to what I'm told, 3 inch lip is max you can go for the rear...um, i give them a 6/6.5 but thats just me... 
Hope you enjoy your wheels!!!

Front: 8.5" 235/35/19
Rear: 10" 265/30/19

Hmmm, thats really surprising that Ben said 10s will be ok. I know many people with C-classes that bought HREs from him and he said anything bigger then a 9.5 will require fender rolling. I am sure it will since my car lowered with 9.5s in the rear rubs on 1 side under a load. Unless you dont lower the car, u may be ok.

Thanks... I'll check with him (Ben) tomorrow. The more and more I look at the 545r's the more and more I think I should have gone with those. I found this pic online... a C32 AMG sporting the 545R's

I like them on C55 , as most recently I have been reading hundreds of rims mods and want to get something truly luxury and aggressive for my C55.
So my mind is 'tuned' up for extraordinary rims.
Bet those are 20" right?
My only concern is they can be seen as 'M-sport looking' , so make sure a Benz never carry a BMW rim

The hawk- LMAO!!!!! That completely made my day! I agree, HREs all the way. Another suggestion, order body color covers for the orange side reflectors from evosport. Then you should have one clean C55!
