as an aside, I have a W169 with 15" steel wheels and Conti Winter Contact TS810s on for the Winter and 16" MB alloys with Pirelli P1 Cinturato Verde for Summer.
Winter wheelsets are a small price to pay for a huge increase in safety. The initial outlay is mitigated against both saving wear/corrosion on Summer wheels (many of which are high sheen and don't fare well with salt and Winter conditions) and the resale value afterwards.
Shop around and you will find good Genuine MB and AMG wheels from suppliers that know exactly what they're talking about when it comes to fitments. If you're clear about budget then there are good OEM brands like Borbet available for very low prices.
