Question The Stealth Look???

hey guys... quick question... i have a 98 c280 sedan in silver with the darkest of dark limo tint all around -- u can't look in. i was originally gonna go with chrome brabus copies (the V's) in 18x8.5, but wanted to know if any of u had seen a silver benz with black rims b4? Do u think i should get the plain silver brabus copy V's and have them powdercoated black to match the tint and smoked lights all around? What's the general opinion... I can imagine a lot of no's but hey, i wanna see what u think. i saw a cl600 at the l.a. auto show 2years back with this setup and a 540sport bimmer.

It's different, but will it work with the w202 and the benz's look?

POLL UP.

sol-t

thanks, oh and here's what the v's look like in black...

I would say go for the polish ones. Honestly speaking it won't look good on a silver car. just my $0.02.

Thumbs up Rims

Wow, those black rims look very nice! I think that they would look very nice with your C class! Where did you find those, I think I would be very interested in rims like those too. Please post some pics of your car after you change your rims!
