First time MB owner! few bits of help please

[mattwatson]

OK so I just put down a deposit on a 61plate c250 coupe. What is the Mercedes model reference for these?
I guess it starts with a 'W'??

I previously had a BMW and had a set of winter wheels and plan on doing the same. The C250 comes with 18's as standard so fancy some 17's for the winter.

What fitment do I need to be looking for? And any suggestions on some wheels that may suit?
p.s. I don't want anything that isn't proper MB

So if anyone can help that would be great! thanks

I think your model is a W204 series - you'll be able to tell from the VIN no.. Engine code is, I think, OM651.

If you don't get any joy on PH, the following forum is very good:

idiotgap applies stick-on beard and MB bore hat - imagine whining adenoidal voice too if it helps...

W204 will refer to the saloon shape. The coupe would be a C204. Estate S204.
