I just got it. I love it. What can I do to it?

Off the starting line, I'd like to enhance it's handeling with 18' wheels. What's a good source - and what else can be done?

Evosport can also get you any wheel you want. You could enhance it's handling and acceleration by getting BBS LMs, whichh are very light. Otherwise, most wheels will slow your car down.

I doubt changing the rims will unlikely affect the speed of your car, so I say go with looks. Either get 19s or 18s something that looks nice and classy. Go with Carlsson for cheaper brands and Brabus or Lorinser for more expensive ones. Trust me adding rims to your C-class changes it a lot and gets awesome looks.

I think you should take into consideration road conditions. I work in Downtown LA. The roads here suck. Very bad. So I went with 18" instead of 19". Also multipiece rims bend easier so I didnt get those. I have not bent any rims so far. I have had it on my car for a year almost and drives the roads here everyday. I also try to aviod bad streets and always look and aviod potholes and all the other obsticles here.
