Need some advice on wheels

Alright, well the c230kss that I will be getting is going to be black on black, and it will be recieving some nice dark tint also. But I just cant decide weather to do black centers with a polished lip or go for the silver finish instead. I see a few sigs. that all seem to have the black 230 with silver wheels and didnt know if there is anyone rocking some black centers to give me a better idea? I have PS, but still you know it helps to see the real pics. Whats your opinion on the wheels? Any online site that sells relipca lorinser or brabus wheels? I love thier looks just cant afford the real things. TIA

Why not keep the awesome looking stock wheels and put your $$$$ towards a Kleeman kit? After you drive the car for a while, you WILL want more power!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have thought about that alot, but I want to make sure that I will have a warranty when it is time to go in for my service. I cant tell you how many times ive gone into the VW, Audi, Land Rover and BMW dealerships just sitting there waiting for each of them to come out and tell me that part of my warranty has been voided on the car due to my obsession to aftermarket goodies.

EDIT* And here are my 2 choices on the wheels...
this set I would NOT paint hte centers black


And I personally LOVE this set more, but dont know if black centers over the silver would look even hotter. Comments?

When you say, "paint the centers" are you referring to the center caps or the actual spokes? Just want to clarify because either can be done, but I don't wanna assume that you're talking about the spokes (while keeping a silver or chrome lip).

Black center will looks good with a big lip rims. The Brabus will looks good as it is.

I'm not a fan of the all-black look (even with a chrome lip). A little color is nice. Polished or chromed for me. Painted wheels just don't do it for me either.

black/polished lip wheels look the best on black cars... so you could really go either way. was never a fan of chrome... painted silver or anthracite looks nice, too.

I'd go w/black, but only if you mail your stockies to me ^_^

I like the Velocity Motoring VM-6 (lower picture, with the twin spokes) the best. I would leave them stock, and paint the brake calipers. Since that wheel is available in two widths, it would look nice on the C230 with wider tires in the rear, a nod to the muscle car look.

Personnally, I love chrome, so I'd go with chrome wheels on a black car.

PS, do they even still make the teddy bear rims?

I'd like a set of 20" chrome teddy bear spinners please! (joking joking)
