I think he's trying to describe the color of the wheel.. that it's somewhere between chrome and silver. The word he should be using is aluminish finish rather than aluminum tint. They also look like fake brabus to me.

Wow, thats cheap someone would do that!! But personally, i would buy the knockoffs since they're normally so much cheaper, i can't justify spending more then double for a wheel thats almost the same. Later Chris

people these days. trying to pass replica as real things..sighno the other hand I'd buy the Brabus replicas too. The authentic Brabus are just too expensive. Besides most people bought them for style. I calculate the fair price for rims by AMG's price

That alone diminishes the look of the rims i.e. makes them look fake/cheap...well except for amg.

And trust me, once you put 19s on your car, you will never go back to "puny" 17s-18s.
a stock c32 may look alright, if mediocrity is your standard. it may look good, but why settle for good when you can have FABULOUS? modded c32

So just wondering...why do you still have the Pioneer brand on your sound/nav system? Why not just slap a mercedes sticker on it or something since it's ON a Mercedes car...same principle, just different application » an aftermarket product.
