Cost = $200 The camera I used is a very affordable Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P41 4.1 Mega Pixel.

My problem is that it has been difficult to find great (subjective, I know) rims in
17" which is the largest I want at the moment. I wanted dress rims for my 99
e320 and not sporty since my ride isn't really a high output, AMG type performer.
But these Ruff rims sure look nice and I like the lip. the spokes are sturdy and
does not appear 'spindly' and narrow. Whaddaya think guys? I have the
Bordeaux exterior so thinking silver finish. Nice that this 279 model comes in
17, 18, and 19. :-)
Oh, MB Dreams...... on your car !! great overall package and look!

ahhhh get rid of that front plate!
If you get painted or euro side markers and flat hood badge, your car would look awesome. Nice wheels - I take it they are 1 pc cast not forged

This wheel/tire package should fit all non-AMGs. The tire sizes he has listed will fit the C-class without rubbing or clearance issues. For the W211, he recommended upgrading the tires to a 245/35/19 & 275/30/19. I've had absolutely no rubbing or clearance issues even after lowering it. Last weekend, I took the family out, and had 5 people in the car. I stepped outside, and saw the rear tucked like you wouldn't believe. Then the airmatic system raised itself automatically to the preset level. When we arrived at the restaurant, and everyone got out, the car looked like a 4X4, lol. Then it slammed itself back down. For a second there, I thought I was one of those "lowriders" with hydraulics or airbags.
