They do look really small actually, I run a 255/35/18 tire all around but I guess for a 225 tire a 55-series sidewall is about right. I mean I don't think there's much you can change on that size of wheel, but that wheel seems to small in both diameter and width for that car.

I know 03-06's came with 16s stock. 07-09 luxury model came with 17s stock. The great thing about having small wheels are that they ride amazingly comfortable and are great to use during the winter for snow. If you're thinking of swapping for a bigger size, 19's are probably the best size to go with.

On the W211, 19s look the best IMO for most styles of wheels I agree there Lemon. However, they're much more likely to bend if you're running a thinner sidewall like I am and they are not forged.
