IMO, full blackout wheels should not be attempted unless you're going to add other black/cf accessories to complete the theme.

They would look clean in silver or brushed on his car as-is. To complete the black-out theme, I think he'd need a painted black roof, grille, rear diffuser, badges cf front lip, cf rear spoiler, and black out all chrome trim (windows/impact strips). Now that would be dope.

i think silver (non chrome) would be the best/easiest..
until then, i can always mock it up some...

I would do 35% all around. I have 20% and sometimes I wish it was darker.

That's funny cause mine are 35% all the way around and wish mine were slightly lighter. And I have medium all the way around. I remember when I first went to have it done, I was gonna do thee ol look of yester year ... Dark in the back and light in the front.... WHOA... what the hell was I thinking???!!! ![smash](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smashfreak.gif)
Went to Whittier Tint Shop in Whittier and the girl said, you should do a medium all the way around cause it looks classy on this car. I'm glad I did. Greystone I believe it's called.
In my personal opinion, it just looks kinda classy. That's just my two cents

i.e: 35% is lighter than 20%
I have 15% all around and my only complaint is that it gets really hard to see in the dark when there is no street light around and no moon

I would do 35% all around, but in New Hampshire you cannot touch the fronts, and knowing my luck and the cops in my town, I will get pulled over driving back from the tint shop. Thanks for the prompt response.
jw, do you guys think having 35%'s on just the back is going to look good?

I was telling the OP to get 35% all around since having two shades of tint looks silly.
Then I said that I have 20% and sometimes wish I had gone darker.
