New Wheels? Not Sure Where to Start.

The old 16" rims on my 97 C280 have seen better days, and I think it's time to find some replacements.

First off, I want new wheels that are 19 inches in diameter.

Second, I don't want AMG or anything too sporty. since my car is not the sport-line, elegance is key here.

Last but not least, my budget for these wheels is a maximum of 1,200 USD

Hope somebody knows of some good wheels, I'm having lots of trouble finding elegant Mercedes-Benz wheels.

This is my attempt at fitting some 19x8.5/19x9.5 wheels on my C36. Offset up front is killing me here. These wheels are et44, stock are closer to et30 if I recall.
