What are you looking for? There are a ton of factors that go into what wheels you can get.

try tirerack.com so that you can get a general idea of what you want. you can kind of "test fit" wheels on there to see how they'll look on your car. and plus they give you what tires are recommended for the size of the wheel, so you know what you'll need in the future

You can try discounttire.com as well similar to tirerack.com. They provide an application where you can see how the wheels look on the car.

Good Luck!!

Post pictures when you make your final selection.

Look around the site; there are group buys on here that have great deals, or look on CL and they're bound to have some good stuff. Get the name of the wheel you like, and just type it in with "W210" next to it. 5x112 pattern... they have good sites for a lot of different kind of wheels. I bought mine from wheelfire.com but if I had a choice i'd definitely buy used on CL. Older cars like ours aren't worth the shock value of half the rims out there.

18s squared looks great(you can still rotate!) but pay attention to offset. Also another thing to look at is wheel width- our cars aren't exactly the smallest, so thin wheels on a big car looks kinda goofy. try to stay in the 8.5 and wider width, because otherwise it just looks outright strange on a big body car. Don't let people fool you; we can go bigger than 8.5 width in the front, the offset has to be less that et35(preferably 32) and you'd have to roll your fenders for a flush look. imo it looks great.

Hope you find good rims for your Benz !
i was also looking for something like 18's and ended up buying these 18" AMG Staggered wheels, which are perfect for me, love them.
Good luck, would like to see pics of your outcome

Well, you've probably already bought your new wheels and tires; here's what I did some years back on my '01 E320.
