Wheel suggestions for silver C63

Was hoping people could offer some advice as to a good wheel setup for an 08 C63. Some things:

-- thinking that 19" appear to best fit the wheel well

questions:

-- what sizes would be good if I only want +1 in tire size?
-- what color would go nice with a silver car with polished lip?

I am considering these rims from Work right now.

We're doing a set of 360 Mesh8 in 19's right now with a Matte Black center and a white lip 19x8.5/19x9.5 for a white 2010 C63, and a set of Spec5 19" Gloss black with a brushed lip for a black one 19x8.5/19x10.0. I'll post pictures for you as soon as they are done ......

PM me and I'll send you pictures of the white set they will be done today or monday.

no more AMG
I'm thinking about getting a set of these. They're made by MHT and these are single piece. I talked to MHT earlier and they will work for a C63

Let us know if you need pricing on the Work Gnosis wheels, we are one of their largest dealers. I would suggest doing the brushed centers with the hi-polished lips, would look nice on the C63.

what's the difference between the brushed center and the matted silver? i would definitely want the polished lips. i don't want to go wide for 19s but i would want it to look nice. PM me if you can. i am interested as i think those wheels would look nice.

Well brushed aluminum is going to give the wheel a slightly reflective surface much like a diamond cut on any aluminum surface. Matte silver is much like that of a stock wheel only with a lip, I would choose the brushed over the matte silver.

As for width we can do a 8.5" in the front and a 9.5 in the rear, these sizes will work well for the C63 model. (ignor the 10" width I sent you in the PM, replace it with a 9.5)

Thanks for the clarification. Please ignore my PM to you about the different in colors... I checked my PM first before coming to the thread.
