Harris, I want these wheels!

Harris you said u can get virtually any wheel... How much for these rims in this pic? I want the same size wheel all around, no wider rears. It is probably 17x7.5 or 17x8 because the tire size is 225/45 17 on the front. I guess it is the C sport package in europe.

No way

You are the great AlBoston,the detailing guru.No way should you be driving on anything less then an 18 inch rim and it MUST be a staggered set up.Get a bigger rim my friend,you will be very pleased and will have more surface area to clean and show your skills that much more

LOL!!! Thanks for the compliments . I really appreciate it. If you have ever driven in Boston you will know how TERRIBLE the roads are... I couldn't take riding on 18s with a C-class. Maybe an E, S, CL, or ML.. but the C will require very low profile tires.

For US customers, I usually send the wheels to my partners in the US and have them send it out to you. In that case, you can save some shipping! Let me know if/when you've decided, then I'll start looking for you.
