Post pics of 19" or 20"

Just picked up my white C350 Sport, Grey/Black interior, P2, MM, Ipod.
Looked at some wheels and considering 20" but not sure on the fitment and side wall height (potential for damage).

So far I have this list:
Klass KF100
Marion MR2
&Swiss &S5
Auto Couture Lative

Does anyone have pics of their C300-350 with 19 and 20" aftermarket wheels? Also any further suggestions for wheels and experience with the above list is appreciated!

Tire size with 20x8.5 and 20x10?

I think it will look funny if you install 20" and not lowering it. If you install 19", it might not be as odd.

I think you guys are right....20's without lowering would look funny. Add to that the rear tires are hard to find as the size has to be 265/25/20 or 275/25/20. I think the the chance of wheel damage is high with a 25 side wall measuing only 2.7".

A great calculator if you guys are looking for one is:
Tire Size Calculator - tire & wheel plus sizing

I think I will go with 19's....just need to choose a rim with a nice lip that won't make a 19 look too small.

I will be keeping my stockers, great for road trips and saving expensive rubber on the planned Michelin PS 2's.

I'll post the pics when I get wheels.

Now if they can only figure out how to add memory seats for the US.

Send a message via AIM to Tri-Star
19s will look good, i went with 18s because the roads in nyc are horrible and i'd rather not bend my rim or blow out a tire.
