After considering all seasons I've decided to go with a winter wheel/summer wheel set up, so now I'm looking to buy the winters. I'm looking for affordable 17x8 rims, preferably $200 or less per wheel. I did a search and looked at some fitment guides, but I don't want to buy something and have it not fit, and preferably want to get something that doesnt require me to use spacers. Tirerack's package includes rims that are ET35 for the front and rear, but I read a post from hooleyboy that said he got ET35's for the front and they didn't clear the calipers, so he went with ET30's. So then I was looking on discounttire and they don't even have any 17x8 wheels which are ET30.

Can anyone clear this up for me, or suggest a decent affordable wheel that will fit? Anyone running a 17" winter set up on their C55 already?

I found these, the seller claims they will fit seems like a good deal?http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/pts/945573942.html

Do you really need an 8" rim? Its for the winter only...not like you are using the C55s performance in the snow ,slush and ice.

I ended up buying the rims from craigslist, it was a really good deal and after some consultation I was informed that they'll fit with no problems so we'll see. Now I just need to pick up some Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3Ds from tirerack and I'll be away. Can anyone tell me how much I should be expecting to pay to get the tires mounted and balanced?

depends on where you go to get them mounted or balanced but should be less than 50 for both.
