I'd say its a fact on this forum that the majority of owners own white or black cars. I'm interested in getting new rims on my Palladium silver car and was pondering the idea of something different...black rims. Tried the tirerack picture configurator but i think real life pictures are more realistic
What's the consensus on Silver and black rims? Are there any owners of palladium silver with black rims on the forum? Pics would be handy

Callmiro has a palladium silver C63 with Black rims, here is the link to his thread.

My C300 did too, but I have no good pics showing the rims to post >.<.

The black rims look as if it's past time to get out the brake dust cleaner. If you don't want the usual silver, have you considered different applications using gun metal color, which may tie in with the Palladium?

Thanks for that tip Sportstick...all about finding soemthing within budget.

If you like AMG reps, PowerWheels Pro is the best source I know and an excellent value. But, for something different, a choice like these is a possibility....painted anthracite grey, although might be outside the budget.

Are there not generally problems with replica rims?
Being tempted by a set of OEMs staggered in 18" in black...even if its just for the winter...cost of 255/30/18 tires are crazy!

One can not analyze this generally. Certainly, there are low quality products. I've bought three car-sets of high quality AMG rep rims from PowerWheels Pro. Search the forum for my screen name and "wheels". I relied on PWP because they source from TUV and JWL certified producers. They've also had great customer service. The biggest challenge is their inventory on hand, as they won't sell just anyone's wheels.

Thanks Sportstick!

+1 for PWP. I have a set on my C300 and will be buying another from them in the Spring for my wife's Bimmer. Customer service is outstanding.
