Looks good, are those rims painted flat black, or do they come like that, or is that plasti-dip?

OK, I am going to get a rep as the negative douche around here, but everyone has an opinion right...You ruined a set of beautiful wheels - it looks like somebody drove 15K miles without cleaning their wheels...I would love to see how the car looked with the wheels on it before you broke out the flat black rattle can...

Yah its all good you would have to know me..I hate silver and chrome or anything shinny. I black out everything not just on my benz but I have a Honda S2000 as well and everything I can i black out. And not even now cuz its cool, I mean my last 6 cars.

The second thing I love is stock or oem rims..I rather have a black set of AMG style rims or black oem honda rims then a aftermarket style.

I looked everywhere and could not find any C63 rep or AMG rep rims that came in black and silver is not an option so I painted them because I wanted them on the car fast. Over the winter I will have them properly powder coated.

I can appreciate that Gotti - everyone has their own style, I just cannot seem to get on the black wheel bandwagon, I always think they look smaller and dirtier than silver or polished type wheels, but do agree with you on oem rims...I love the look of the black and white cars with the polished highlited wheels for example, btw - what is the location of that pic? Looks beautiful there...any pics of the S2000?

Not sure if you guys know but if you look on ebay they sized pieces of the actual mesh used in our lower grilles in both big and small pattern. Ive used them on many projects in the past, its like 20 for a piece that would do ur whole bumper. The stuff bends and is perfect for mods. I use mesh under my tile floor jobs.......but I guess it works in a pinch, just doesnt match w rest of car on style, the ebay stuff looks oem, just me tho
