Wheels/Tires Combo Recommendation

I'm thinking of buying these wheels, what tire size/brand do you recommend? What do you think these 18" chrome wheels?

There is a sticky for wheels and tyres for these kind of questions. Unecessary to create a new thread everytime a member wants to buy new wheels and tyres. Not trying to be a jerk but there are dozens of these kind of threads already. IMO you shouldn't put chrome wheels on a benz and go with 19", I found my 18" to be too small after a few weeks.

The date on one of those photos shows Nov 13, 2008. It appears the photos are downloaded off a website.

FYI, we been having quite a few craigslist robberies in the Bay Area. They will advertise things for sale on the website for several hundred dollars and arrange a quiet location to meet up.

I called the number with my block number and nobody picked up the phone. No voicemail either. Criminals are using Metro PCS phones and other prepaid phones to avoid tracking.

Just beware, I have a feeling this post on Craigslist is a scam waiting to happen.
