2018 C300. I want to replace it with a smaller wheel; I don't care about the flapper switches whatever they're called.

not sure what you mean by smaller wheel. Your options are w205 amg wheel or 2020 wheel. Both options are pretty much the same in size.
option 3 you get a racing wheel; no airbag or whatever

or get a chopped top wheel. That’ll make it “smaller” for sure

So something like this picture is fine. I prefer racing; I want as small as possible - I don't care about airbag.

assuming you don’t care about having an airbag light?
do you care about retaining button function? If not grab a mono wheel maybe?

if you’re looking for still keeping a Mercedes wheel but customized feel free to reach out to us

all the wheels pretty much have an identical diameter. Like I said we can chop the wheels top down which will naturally make it smaller. Sucks to say but you can’t bring down the diameter any more on these wheels without ruining the structure.

So I'll probably pick a full wheel, but I like the ones that have a straight (flat) bottom base.

couple dimensions.
every variation of wheel you can upgrade to has similar dimensions to the images above

if you went with a 2020 style wheel like the chopped one above we could make it without the sport grip more oem style and it would be around a 1/4” smaller

Ok, I'll order that if it's the smallest possible.
