Sorry, Im just not a big fan of putting blue tint on a Benz. I see that on VW Bugs and stuff. Go for a triple black limo. Drop the car on some 19" Lorinsers and you are set to go.

Stick with a black tint and it should look very nice. Chroming those rims would look good too.

think so cool
the only thing i thought i go with the blue cuz i thought the benz would be too black and with chrome well that would make it a lil too mean and gangsterish since no one can see whats inside the car..

Those rims would look much better on a black MB...I'm not a big fan of chroming the rims though...my personal choice of course.
Go the black tint...the blue looks a bit hippy.

Cool

Hmmm..., In my opinion, you should go for 19" either Brabus V or VI or Lorinser. I am not a fans of chroming wheels. But if you want it different, Paint the wheels black but leave the lips chrome. that way your car will look macho. Sport grill is nice. and just leave the window clear. cool... lower it too.

thats my car.

go with a natural black tint or nothin at all. i could get away with cuz my car is white and it enhances the look of my ash interior from the outside lookin in. wheels- go 19", mono 6, or the 18" amg split spoke, you can order those i hear, but it'll take awhile i hear. oh, h&r springs too.

I've got the 18" AMG split spoke on 5 week special order from Germany. They come with a 'high-gloss' finish.

Here's a pic -

18x7.5 front et37, $439 each; 18x8.5 rear et34, $469 each (those I believe are the sizes off the CLK55, which would be interchangeable with the C-Class) At least this is what I was told by the shop I'm buying from, and some people on benzsport seemed to agree.

You're most likely going to have the blue tint on your CL55. All MB's (Well, atleast the AMG's) come with blue tint if you get the rain sensor as an option. I believe it comes on the CL55 already, so you will have blue tint; don't quote me on this. The blue tint that Mercedes-Benz uses is not as extreme as the one in the white picture. It is very subtle, and fits the car very nicely. The blue tint on the C240 in the picture above is ugly, IMO. I'll try and find a picture of it on a C32...

thx accord

i saw the tint on the c32 in person its sweet but i would still like it a lil darker...but not as dark as Lhoangs...

the c32 stock tint seems very classy and high quality
in person i was thinking a lil more darker tint though

havent seen lhoangs in perso so i dun know if the quality of blue tint is nice as the c32 stock tint...

$450 a rim kinda expensive for what i like to pay
but we' ll see i guess

andrew : sweet dude post some pics!!

that is not a blue tint on the c32 above. it is actually the glass. the glass has the blu tint in it. there is no film there. also, the blue glass does not block out much sunlight.
