Default C32...help me decide what wheels I should put on it???

So I have had my car for a week and am looking to put wheels on it...lots of tough choices Anyway, wanted to query the CL minds (since I like you more than the MB crowd ) to see what you guys have in mind...just I don't want to go to overboard (HRE, etc..)...just a nice mutli-piece wheel in 18 or 19. The car is Pewter Silver.

I was looking at these wheels in silver in a 19x8 +37 High (R) Disk and 19x9 +29 regular (A) Disk but I am having a hard time confirming the necessary offset. The Stock offset is 17x7.5 +37 front and 17x8.5 +34 rear. Great thing is I have an opportunity to get any 1 set of work wheels at wholesale for my car...which is a HUGE savings!

Anyway, help me decide on a nice set of new shoes

I will post some pics of my ride...shortly

As a side note, I am missing my GS...luckily (more like worryingly) my sister-in-law now owns my GS, so I get to see it often...I just worry for my creation...also she is getting all sorts of compliments on the wheels, etc...man I never got that type of attention! Goes to show how far mods go if your a woman driving...

Steve at Carson Toyota was telling me to look at AC and Wald

I like the Brabus Monobloc VI...but quite a few cars have them...I want to be somewhat unique.

Hey Seize, where do you get all these pics of wicked and awesome looking modded Benz'es and Bimmers?

I really like the first wheel - the Brabus one. That E-class looks so hot!!!
