You have to first decide if you're going to keep the same wheel size, 16-inch or go for the plus-1 upgrade to 17-inch.
Go to Tirerack.com and see the different wheels and how they look in your car. Among many other brands, they do sell original AMG wheels.

One consideration is the weight of the wheel. The output of C240 is 168 HP and if the wheels are too heavy, you might feel under-powered at startup.

I am getting the AMG Twin-Spoke 209 for my 2004 CLK320 coupe. I did the plus-1 upgrade from 16-inch to 17-inch.
