18 inch Rims

New to this forum... Just picked up my 2014 C300 sport on Friday and now I'm wondering how this car will be in the winter with 18" rims? I'm really nervous. I'm thinking of calling dealer and having them switch me to 17". Does anyone have an opinion about this??? Could use some sound advise.

I would think that it isn't going to matter either way. Most tires for a 17" or 18" wheel are about the same design.

Thank you for the reply... I'm coming from an X5 so I'm having a little anxiety. I love this car so much otherwise. It's beautiful. Got magnetite black with cappucino leather... So I guess i shouldn't really worry to much.

Btw, do you happen to know if I could even get 17s put on for winter? Is it a big thing to do?

17's will not make a big difference. Just get some good winter tires and you should be fine.
