Brabus VI for my C280 ???

I have a Silver 1999 C280 Sport. I live in the Los Angeles, CA area. I've been looking around at different wheel options and my favorite seems to be the Brabus VI 2-piece in silver, not black, not chrome. I don't know much about this wheel. I am not sure what size I should get, or if the wheels will even work with my car. I was thinking 18" if that would fit and still drive nicely. What sizes would I need spacers?

I am looking to buy so if you have them I am interested. Looking for used wheels with minor damages only, no cracks or bends. Looking around for a set around $800. Genuine only, no replicas!

Opinions? Suggestions? Experience? Is there a better and better looking wheel?

Thanks

If you're interested in putting 18" in your car, follow MB's specification so that you won't encounter problems like rubbing, putting spacers, etc.

Front: Tire Size: 225/40 ZR 18 (Wheel 7.5Jx18 Offset ET37)
Rear: Tire Size: 255/35 ZR 18 (Wheel 8.5Jx18 Offset ET30)

For (4) non-Staggered sets: use the front wheel's specs.

i have AMG style III on my 99 C280 Sport with H&R springs and i forget which sping pads i put - i changed mine out to a bit higher due to rubbing.
you need the AMG 211 wheels - my fronts are too aggressive from a 230 i think so they rub a bit on big bumps but overall they look good.

I still have not gotten these wheels yet. I check craigslist daily but have never found the exact ones I want.

Thanks for the comments!
