Default Mercedes wheels?

Ok I'm in the market for some new tires. So took a trip through the user gallery and have seen several members with several differant styles of Mercedes wheels on the crossfire. Some really look great on the Crossfire. So heres my question.
What works, from what car did they come from? are spacers needed? what size tires are you running.
Post up some pictures and info on tire sizes and any mods needed to get them on the crossfire. Thanks Tim

Those are both 18's if I'm not mistaken, right Gary? They look good. where did you get those? They have a balanced look to the car, and then what size tires did you use, and what offset or spacer was needed if any. Mark

The wheels with tires were installed by the DPO. "despised previous owner. They are 18" and no TPMS. I like them and is a reason I bought the car. No offset needed and I don't need TPMS. Gary

Went out and looked to get tire size. Discovered they are Pirelli Sno Pro tires.Could have used the car this winter.Now to contact previous owner to find original wheels and tires. The Saga goes on. Gary

How about the wheels on MannyTwoTwo's car? Awesome! I fell in love with them when I saw his car last month. I think they are 19's all around.

I took the liberty of posting the nox1s thread here which has pix of his ADR-54 Propulsion rims.

It's not a Mercedes wheel, but I like this look alot, and thought it was worth posting for a look see:
