Well i actually wanted to change my front tires, and my rims were in a bad condition so i asked him if he knows a good paint shop, so i basically paid 150 bucks for all 4... i dont think plastidip would have the same results and the metalic shine =)

That's what I thought before I've sprayed them, but the after math was amazing, well pictures they're not showing what they look like, but when yu see them life they look great.. Gun metal gives it more aggressive look than stock. Next mode is getting my calipers sprayed orange with an amg sticked on them.

Looks good. i like em. Put some butter on those tires 
and take some closer pics in more light and i bet that will represent them better.
I powdercoated my CLS wheels gunmetal grey and they are tough to get a good pic. They do look better in real life, so I know what you mean.

Instead of putting AMG decals on why not try putting on Brembo decals on? Our cars come with brembo brakes stock so it wouldn't be posing off AMG brakes, it would be putting on a decal of what it really is. You can also always put on Mercedes Benz decals too. Heres a pic of how mine look (I painted them myself with some auto zone paint, only $20 for a whole kit)
Same stock sport caliper, this is a picture i found a while ago on diff thread but i forgot whose the car owners name, but im going for orange color instead
This is the color im going for..
this one from a C63

i dont know, but i have a feeling that it'll look good with an AMG on in black... plus upgrading to C32 calipers isnt a good idea.. they need 19' to show the C32 calipers what they deserve, but the size of my calipers matches the OEM 17' rims perfectly. I might go for the stop Mercedes-Benz decals but in black also, still have to make up my mind
