Missed the fact that you got them on OEM factory rims... but then again are the rims used? If so, then they wouldn't be that expensive. They're almost brand new... 200 miles on them.

That's a pretty fair price right?

That's a link to the pics of them. Let me know thoughts

I purchased the same tires from Tirerack with alloy wheels for about the same $$. These were for a 2006 C230 sport which came with wider rears, 8.5s. I elected to get 17x7.5 for all four positions so I can rotate front to rear as they are uni-directional. The alloy wheels I received used different lugs which were included in the price. If your "new" MB wheels are not exactly the same as the original equipment on your C300 you can check the bolt length by placing a bolt through the new wheel and compare the exposed thread with the stock wheel. If they are the same you can use the same bolts. If not you need to get different ones. For pressures I've been using the 30/32 on the door sticker. Yours might be different.
