I really dont even know what brand they are since i bought them used. But I lvoe the way they look but unforunately the ride was ****ty!! i shaved down the walls of the inside but only made a little difference.. and when i had more than 2 people in the car it felt like i was in a go cart. lol

Yup, that's exactly why I got rid of my 19's. No matter what I did, with people in the car it would rub. And then when I got coilovers, the ride was super harsh. Plus I felt they were noticeably slower.

I LOVED the way it looked, but to me it's embarrassing having a Mercedes and then when people are in it, you have to explain why it makes all these funky noises all the time.

Wheels look good. Who needs passengers anyways.

Get some black emblems.

Try replacing the rear shims to the next thickness up or +1 dot.
Then you can roll the fender lip next. Worked on mine. Also check the offset.
anything less than 30mm is not good. Typically, range should be between 40 and 32mm offset. I use to have 35mm offsets, but with the new rims I got, it's 30mm, so I'm getting a little rub now and then with a full load of passengers.
